Interview
Le processus d'entretien chez Gartner a été bien organisé. J'ai d'abord reçu un e-mail avec des informations utiles pour me préparer. L'entretien a commencé par une discussion avec un recruteur RH, suivie d'un jeu de rôle pour tester mes compétences en situation réelle. Ce format m'a permis de démontrer mes capacités de communication et de résolution de problèmes. En général, l'entretien était professionnel, clair et structuré.

Question 1
Le jeu de rôle consistait à identifier la douleur (pain point) de la personne avec qui je parlais. Cela m'a permis de démontrer mes compétences en écoute active et en analyse des besoins, en posant les bonnes questions pour cerner les problématiques et y répondre de manière adaptée.
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
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
