I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Gartner (Chennai) in Apr 2022
Interview
Application Submission: The process typically begins with the submission of an application, either through the company's website, job boards, or recruitment platforms.
Initial Contact or Phone Screen
First Round Interview: The first formal interview often takes place either over the phone, via video call, or in-person. This interview is typically with a recruiter or a member of the HR team and focuses on assessing the candidate's fit for the role, their relevant experience, and their motivation for applying.
Depending on the nature of the position, candidates may be asked to complete a technical assessment or skills test
They conducted two technical rounds of interviews with me over the course of three weeks. I was confident I had cleared both rounds, especially after the hiring manager personally mentioned that I was a strong fit based on my experience. However, the HR team kept me on hold as a backup candidate and later took down the job posting from the careers page. Despite multiple follow-ups over the phone, I received no response. It was only after sending a formal feedback email that I was informed they had decided to move ahead with a different candidate pool.
It's disheartening to see how some companies handle candidates—leaving them waiting without clear communication and ultimately wasting their time
The interview process for the Data Engineer position involved an initial non-technical screening call, followed by two technical rounds focusing on SQL, Python, and Azure, and concluded with a behavioral final interview.

What is the difference between Data Lake and Delta lake
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Apr 2023
Interview
There was one phone screen with recruiter followed by an hour long call with the hiring team. The team members were professional. However, some of them had no interest to hear about my current experience. It maybe because of the time factor or something else.
Never heard back from either the recruiter or anyone after this call. All the talk they do about conduct and professionalism, they can’t even send a response after the interview forget the feedback.
