I applied through university. I interviewed at Gartner in Sept 2017
Interview
Four-Five rounds of behavioural questions. Each round lasted for 45-60 mins. Decent interview, on time, quick to respond back. Try to ask some questions at the end of the interview. These are the comprehensive list of all the questions they ask.

They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
