I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Barcelona)
Interview
I had a disappointing experience with the Gartner interview process. Despite going through multiple interview stages, the recruiter provided no constructive feedback that could help me improve for future applications. It's disheartening that candidates who invest time learning about the company and preparing for interviews only receive generic, impersonal rejection emails, without any guidance on how to improve.
It was lengthy. The company could not give a definite answer so I had another round of interview. Used up too much of my time. The role play was challenging but once you get the hang of it, it is fine.
They contacted me over LinkedIn, we had the interview and then gave no feedback for about two weeks, I found them to be not very organised. It was just an exploratory interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Dallas, TX) in Jul 2025
Interview
Felt like they wanted me to say certain things only. VERY demanding of STAR method, which I get but seemed a little too much. They were more worried about the format of the question than the answer itself.
