      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 21, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Austin, TX
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Austin, TX) in Sep 2018

      Interview

      I was given a take home application to build. This application had a few specifications, but mostly the implementation was left open. Later, while interviewing in person, it was made apparent the assignment was very related to the position for which I was being interviewed. Another nice touch was that I realized the provided REST API was taken down immediately after my submission. Both the problem and the surrounding communication felt very tailored specifically to me. Onsite the interview consisted of several technical hypothetical questions and an in-depth discussion of my background.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 7, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Gartner in Aug 2024

      Interview

      This position was open for several months. I applied online. Got a phone screen phone call. I had not committed to it since I had other offers I was considering. The recruiter reached out to me again and seemed ethusiastic. At that point I said that I wanted to go ahead with the interview process. A month passed and I have not heard anything. Someting told me to just jot a follow-up line. At that point I got replies from several HR people at the company tht moved my application forward. Original recruiter wrote back, appologized and said that got busy with other. I thought, "WTF? That's your job". Anway, went ahead through three more rounds of interviews, one with a manager, one with an architect and the final one with the director. I thought I did well and my resume was ideal for this position, but a few days later I got an email telling me that the company would not go ahead with my canadidacy. A month has passed and I see the same job posting on multiple board sites. This company is either not serious about filling this posistion or there is something else going on.
