I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (El Segundo, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
I was referred by a previous employee. I prepared by considering my strengths that I could bring to the position. I looked forward to meeting potential bosses in person. The process started -- and for me ended -- with lengthy phone interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was greatest obstacle that I've overcome? Greatest failure?
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.
