Well well well... let me tell you. I have been interviewed with Gartner for various positions, mostly sales positions. My first one was in 2015 and my last one last week. All together I have had over 20 interviews with recruiters and hiring managers... made it to the panel interview once and normally always to the third stage where hiring managers are interviewing me. I always enjoy the interviews because I learn actually a lot which helped me in my current role at my job. You might think: "Why do you keep on applying?" I actually don't...the talent sourcers seem to love my linkedin profile and hit me up on regular base. Must be that smile lol... anyhow the questions are always the same where they try to find out if you are ambitious, show that you are metrics driven and regularly surpass sales goals. Natural curiosity is also very important. Ask a lot of questions. Even when you are approached by the recruiter they still ask you "why did you apply at Gartner?" ...hhmm well I didn't but hey now I am here so let's play the game: "I feel like Gartner is for me the next....bla bla bla". This time the first two interviews with HR were actually very pleasant like always. Then I had the hiring managers who either where trying to play good cop / bad cop or just very convinced by themselves.... [especially the senior]. Without going into too much detail, but crappy questions will get you crappy answers....they didn't know that I initially had not applied for that position but wanted to know why I applied for that specific role.... [do you guys have internal correspondence?]. I am doing my homework and so should the hiring managers. Then I was asked about an example where I failed but didn't bother with a follow question on how I overcame my failure...Long story short, thank God I was not a fit for that hiring manager... I have to say it seems more and more that Gartner's culture is going downhill.... I don't think it is a coincidence that the rating on glass door consistently got worse with each year. But hey...don't worry I will keep on taking your interviews because I am a very persistent human being and as I said I learn a lot. Until next time!

Great company, I have really enjoyed working at Gartner. I wouldn’t change anything about the company. I enjoy my work-life balance, my weekends off, and my compensation. Some people do not enjoy Gartner, but I really do.
