I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (London, England)
Interview
The process in all was very long, speaking to various people in different departments. The recruiters were very nice and helpful but the actual people that interviewed me weren't. It felt like an interrogation and was a horrible environment that totally put me off working there. As a recruiter you're especially going to be looking at the way they recruit and using scare tactics is not the one. Also offering someone a next stage in the room and then getting a call to say they didn't want too put you through is very unprofessional. I ended up getting another job offer in the time they were still putting me through for different roles.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner in Mar 2026
Interview
1st stage is an hour long interview with the recruiter, if successful second is with 2 hiring managers - mainly competency based, rigid and very clear they’re following a step by step processes, followed by a 3rd round including presentation and task. Recruiter explained process clearly but never came back with feedback post stage. Disappointing especially that preparation was required for both one hour long conversations and candidate experience was discussed during the process.

Question 1
Why Gartner?
Very in depth career overview including higher education.
Discovery call with a sourcer, phone screen with a recruiter, video interview with hiring manager. Process moves quickly which is nice and they are transparent about feedback which I appreciate
Hiring sequence where I met with the recruiter, HM, VP. Then was flown to Stamford to present and meet more members of the team. Very welcoming, straightforward, and knew what to expect.
