Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Many behavioral questions / executive meetings were very challenging and difficult to prepare for. Emphasis on quick thinking and analysis of problem solving skills.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Jan 2023
Interview
First call was with a recruiter. She no showed, then emailed me she was running late and rescheduled, then was late to the rescheduled time. Moved on to the hiring manager. It was a strange experience. They had two roles posted at different levels with virtually the same job description. The hiring manager's expectations during the interview didn't match the JD at all. Seemed to not know what they wanted/needed in the role. Interview seemed to go well, however, because they said she saw a fit and was moving me forward in the process. Then nothing. Ghosted. I emailed recruiting team asking for info twice with no response. Eventually my status in the portal got changed to "Not Selected" without even an automated email. The whole process seemed very disorganized.

Question 1
Each interviewer has their own area of focus. A good HR conversation ahead of onsite interviews to understand the focus area of each interviewer will prove very helpful.
