I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Jan 2019
Interview
Interview process was pretty lengthy. I talked to two recruiters over the phone first, since they switched my role from client engagement to sales, and those were both the same. Only one or two behavioral questions, mostly just asked about you and to expand on the experiences on your resume. After that was an hour long interview with someone else, this was very behavioral based so prepare for it. Next was a Skype interview which was very similar to the phone call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked one hard question - it was how I would use/offer Gartner services to how my university's application process.
Very informal, very unprofessional, and it seemed like the interviewer was trying to rush through it to get to something else. The interviewer acted like I was inconveniencing her by asking questions about the role and how in translates into full time employment down the line.
I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Phoenix, OR) in Oct 2025
Interview
They asked STAR questions about your school or professional experience. They asked me how I managed skills and demonstrated leadership. The interview was not easy, but not hard. I would say prepare ahead of time.
Supportive recruitment process and hiring team. They guided me through the process giving me a good amount of support and the supporting documentation that would be required whilst also providing actionable development points to inout as the stages of the process continued
