I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Egham, England) in Sept 2017
Interview
It started off with an employee referral and then went through multiple phone interviews followed by a panel interview. I can honestly say that this was the most professional interview process that I have experienced despite working for other employers such as Apple and NASA. They give you a significant amount of detailed feedback at each stage which is very helpful. As a result of this interview process at Gartner is a highly productive process which candidates can learn a lot from.
Sarah Ballard (Campus Recruiter) managed my interview process for the Egham office and was polite, friendly and highly professional, she did a fantastic job of guiding me through the interview process and highlighting the benefits of Gartner. It was a great pleasure interviewing with Gartner, and they offered me a highly competitive package for the Account Manager SMB position.
I received a very generous offer from a Swiss-based company shortly after getting an offer from Gartner so after much consideration was, unfortunately, was not able to take this opportunity up however I would highly encourage people to apply for this position.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Barcelona) in Apr 2019
Interview
The interview process was composed of five steps.
4 steps were interviews on the phone with recruiters, steps number 3 and 4 including a little sales role-play.
The final step was in person in the Barcelona office with the recruiter that was there since the beginning of the process, a manager and the VP of sales.
Overall, the process was very smooth and I was very well accompanied receiving constructive feedback (very helpful!) from the recruiter between each step.
They really want you to do well and give you all the info you need to succeed.
Special thanks to Roberta !
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Describe a time when you showed integrity in your work.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Egham, England)
Interview
4 rounds of interviews:
1. Initial phone call & Gartner Introduction
2. Phone call consisting of "Tell me a time when" questions
3. Continuation of stage 2 with more detail and a phone call role play
4. Assessment day with another role play
From my experience the recruitment process overall was excellent.
It was was well organised and they gave candidates tangible feedback on how to improve. The company is big on coaching and likes people who can take advise and continually develop.
If you have done sales before it should be challenging but not too difficult.
Also make sure you apply for other jobs simultaneously as I feel the company took me more seriously when they knew I was applying for multiple roles.
