      Account Executive Interview

      10 Nov 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Egham, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Egham, England) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      I was approached by one of their recruiters. - First stage is a general phone interview that lasts 30 mins - try to close at the end, you'll see why when you carry on reading this. - Second stage is a 1h phone interview with a second recruiter. You need to treat every call with Gartner as a sales call (they will tell you that too), meaning taking the lead at the beginning of the convo by setting your objectives for the call, and close at the end asking whether they want you to carry on to the next stage. The key is to be structured and to LISTEN to their feedback so you can apply it at the very next stage. I have a feeling they check that you apply feedback at the following stage so ensure you do, to show you are coachable. - Third stage is a 1.5 hour phone interview with a third recruiter. The structure is the same: open by setting objective, go through Gartner, the 4 traits (they assess that by the way you answer questions) and CLOSE. At the end you'll have 2 minutes to prepare a role play. Mine was a mock call with a gym owner that i need to call up to understand his marketing needs as this is what I was meant to sell him. - If you make it through the final stage, well done as the process is not easy. During that stage you'll meet with senior managers, going through 4 traits again + other role play. I decided to drop out of the process at the very last stage because I was offered another job that's more in line with what I was looking for but I would encourage anyone to go through this process with Gartner. They give you feedback throughout the process and I learned tons during my 3 phone interviews with them. When you start working there you go to the Academy, which is 4-7weeks training programme. If you think you've learned a lot during the screening, wait until you go to the Academy. That's what I thought. Gartner seems like a great company to work for, and you will learn a lot from a sales perspective. I chose not to finish the process but only because something else was more suitable for me.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Gartner (Minneapolis, MN)

      Interview

      HR is very accommodating and helpful through the whole process. It can be a little confusing how they structure and and label their position but easily cleared up when talking in first rounds. They are professional and get back quickly. Overall a very positive experience.
