I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Gartner (London, England) in Jun 2024
Interview
First stage was a telephone call with a recruiter. She was a spanish and therefore I found some difficulty with the language barriers. On top of that, the call connection was terrible. I spent most of the call asking if she could repeat stuff.
She did not really want to speak with me, it felt although she was reading off a script for the duration of the 10 minute call. She asked me one questions- 'what are you looking for?'. She then said 'I have to tell you about the company' as she continued to ramble on.
I usually find with sales interviews they like to ask a lot of questions and gauge your personality and energy. This was most definitely not the case here.
I was told I would hear back by Friday.... Over two weeks ago. One ignored email later, I think I will write this one off. Such a shame, looks like a fantastic company to work for,
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 Process is your usual 4 step interview process : with HR / Hiring Manager / Discovery call / VP call.
You want to ask for feedback at the end of all interview and apply them.

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
