I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Barcelona) in Sept 2024
Interview
3 steps interview:
First interview with recruiter: Why sales & gartner, behavioural questions answering in STAR method, role play
Second interview: same thing as in the first one but with a lead skill assessor and less structured, more curveballs
Third step: Panel with VP and hiring manager, lots of curveballs, STAR questions customer scenarios
Overall: very thorough and exhausting interview process but I think it was fair and doable. Recruiter was super helpful and invested in my success. They get a lot of bad rap but my recruite was very decent and a good resource overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you failed in something. What was the situation and how did you overcome it
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner in May 2026
Interview
30 minute phone call with recruiter. Next is 1 hour with recruiter about your background, behavioral questions. Then 1 hour with LSA with questions on your background and a role play.
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.
