I applied online and heard back within the week. I was scheduled for a phone interview with a recruiter the next week. The phone interview was very laid back, mostly focused on the recruiter explaining the job position and asking me about my past experiences and different personality traits. It was about 35 minutes and he gave me very helpful feedback at the end. I was told over the phone that I would be scheduled for another phone interview with a different recruiter, but ended up talking to the same recruiter due to a last minute change. This phone interview was strictly behavioral questions, about 10- 15 of them. Not too hard, pretty standard stuff you can find online-- about 45 mins. I was told once again over the phone that I would be scheduled for another interview, this time using a video conference tool where I would answer a variety of behavioral questions and do a short sales roleplay. This interview was focused more on digging deeper into my past experiences; the interviewer focused on asking "why?" to all of my answers, asking me to self- reflect and seeing how self- aware I was. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. I was told that I would hear back within the week, but it has been 3+ weeks and I haven't heard a word from them. I can take a hint, but it seems kind of unprofessional to never get back with someone, even if you are turning them down. Besides that, it was a great overall experience and both people I talked to were extremely helpful in giving feedback.

Lengthy interview process yet, regardless of your level of interest, is great practice experience. Probably a 5-6 step interview process over maybe 2-4 weeks: Brief chat with recruiter follow-up call with recruiter for short "role-play" with goal to schedule 'next meeting' which is super generalized (basic sales intro role-play) an optional connect with recently hired employee (not required, simply something the recruiter offered) a video group panel interview (I can't remember if this is before or after other steps) video interview with only aligned VP (there are a lot of Sales VPs at the org, don't let the acronym freak you out) a "role-play interview" where you pitch the product (general understanding of Gartner that can be gained through simple research/due diligence). - If I remember correctly, the offer to "join the team" is given at the end of this call. In my experience, if you provide a verbal "yes, I'm interested in joining" then you are locked into whatever compensation the recruiter and you initially discussed despite thinking the negotiation part was still an option. In the interview process, they ask a lot about "your why." What motivates you, why you're driven, etc. This was an incredible influential aspect of the interview process and what they prioritize, so make sure you're prepared. The recruiter was helpful in preparing for each step. She would join to observe steps of the interview and provide constructive feedback. Marking as "difficult" only because I wasn't fully accustomed to the length of the process. It does require due diligence which may be an area of opportunity for some.
