I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Riverton, UT) in Feb 2021
Interview
3 step process. Recruiter first For 30 mins. Followed by a 1HR behavioral interview. Final phase was 30 mins with Hiring Manager, 30 Minutes with skip level VP, followed by a 1 hour role play and feedback from a pre-provided scenario. Prep time was key and asking questions and more questions to uncover possible sales opportunities WITHOUT selling anything.

Question 1
Describe a time you had to be creative in how you approached an objection.
Made it to the last of several grueling rounds of interviews. After receiving no constructive criticism/negative feedback, I wasn’t extended an offer. No one could tell me why. Leads me to think they had already picked someone for the job before I even interviewed.
Quite a long process - well organised and mapped out with several behavioural questions taking majority of the time. Overall I found the process very different to previous companies with Gartner very keen to show you are following their prompts in the prep material.

Interview
Recruiter reached out, then joined the call with a completely disinterested demeanor from the jump. This person was recently at a different company and clearly not accustomed to enterprise sales.
