I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
Called by a recruiter, screening calls, in person interview at their office, spoke with the executive. I was told everything was going well and that I received great feedback from the managers, if anything they were concerned that I was overqualified, etc. I was expecting a call to set up the final steps and the recruiter called to say the position was filled. Just a total waste of my time. If the recruiter hasn't told you, understand that they bring in many people for each of these AE jobs and they hire seemingly whoever completes the process first... and have other candidates moving through the process behind them just in case the first person falls through, doesn't accept the offer, accepts and renegs, etc. I was called a month later about another position and two months later about another position... so they must have really high turn over of AEs.
Avoid this interview process at all costs. It felt like nothing more than a data gathering exercise rather than a genuine hiring effort. Every single round was conducted by a recruiter — I never spoke with an actual hiring manager or team member. A complete waste of time and effort. I would not recommend applying.

Interview
It was okay. Two interviews, phone call and zoom. Zoom was a bit weird all very feedback approached. Had to do a role play of a cold call, which I do everyday to someone who has no cold calling experience so not sure that’s the best judge

How do you think you are doing - half way through the interview
First round HR screening. Second round detailed personality analysis interview. Third round manager interview to ask about experience and motivations. Last round panel interview with presentation to describe why you're a good fit. Strong emphasis on personality fit.
