I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gartner (Hartford, CT) in Apr 2014
Interview
I was in college looking for my first job after graduation. I had a screening interview on campus and then went to Hartford for half a day of interviews. Some were one on one with senior managers, others were panel interviews. Most questions were behavioral or whiteboard.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many tennis balls would fit into the Empire State Building? I asked them for the volume of the ESB and then estimated the volume of an average tennis ball and divided the volume of the ESB by the volume of the tennis balls.
Huge waste of time. They had me do a whole presentation on Power BI of sample data just to tell me they didn't think I had enough experience presenting to senior leadership. This was an entry level role and honestly have no idea what they are expecting

Question 1
Find the outliers in data, analyze peaks/trends within the year
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Apr 2025
Interview
Individual interviews and panel interview. Panel interview consists of about 6 people and you present your work to them and they ask questions. Can take over 2-4 weeks to complete.
Recruiter screen, HM screen, 2 SME interviews, written exercise + panel.
I had a very positive interview with 3 of the interviewers and 1 unprofessional interviewer. This person did not ask me questions. Instead they explained aspects of the role at Gartner and kept implying I would not enjoy working there and ended by telling me I was not qualified for their department.
As a Gartner customer, this was a 1/5 star experience.
