Positive experience with application and working with recruiter.
However, disjointed interview process and handoff from recruiter to Gartner interviewee. Pompous and rude introduction to company from the interviewer. Would recommend a better process of working with recruiter and potential hiring manager.

Question 1
Explain a time you dealt with an unhappy client and the outcome.
They said they will call me back and I did not hear never again. I was disappointed. They mentioned good salaries in Spain - it looks they maintain the European band.
We had a zoom call to discuss role and experience, although I did not fit the role in their opinion I got al the feedback I could ask for in further conversations over text.

Question 1
What do you know about the company, have your pitch ready.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner (Boston, MA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very intensive, they really grill you using the "STARS method" so make sure you have plenty of examples of prior deals and how you overcame something to win them. Overall a good learning experience but probably a little over the top
