I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Jul 2018
Interview
Bait and switch - period.
First step was to have an initial 1 hour call with recruiter, was qualified for 3 roles (let's name them A, B and C), and was given the choice to pick 2. A was the role that I initially applied for so I picked A and B and left C out of the window because I wasn't even interested..
Second step was a conference call for role A with recruiter and her supervisor. Was given specific areas that they would like to know, and how do I see myself fitting in. So I prepared for role A prior to the call, was on the call told that role A was cancelled, they had hired someone for role B and now I only have role C left. Her supervisor never accepted the invite and wasn't even on the call at all.
Not sure why were they setting up interviews if they couldn't even organize themselves properly. Note that this particular recruiter is new to Gartner so we were guessing she was finding targets to waste time and meet KPI.
As a rep in field, this will eventually get back to hurting Gartner's name and is considered highly unprofessional.
Interview had 3 stages. the last one with your VP, you had to roleplay. Recruitment will prepare you thoroughly for the process. With some prep it is doable. very generic,

Interview
Pretty standard interview, prepare examples from your career history. Two recruiter calls, one screening one behavioral, followed by final panel/role play call. Recruiter prepared me well, follow the instructions that they give you on how to run the mock scenario. Ask questions, be curious.
