Interviewed Mar 2012 in Fort Myers, FL (took 2 weeks)
The original HR recruiter that contacted me, I had already met at the Big 10 Career Expo. She was an excellent recruiter. However, the next phone interview, was really unprofessional. She was approximately 15 minutes late for our scheduled phone conversation, but apologized with an excuse. She did state that she was typing out some notes throughout the interview process, but was very un-responsive after each answer. I typed a e-mail to one of the HR recruiters that sent me an email to confirm the interview about the process of getting hired on. She had forwarded it to the second woman that I interviewed with. The woman replied directly to myself with a typical rejection letter, but she had attached my original email conversation with the first woman that I had contacted through email.

First through a talent acquisition. Then to HR.
Interview Questions
I found it a very long, pointless, rehearsed interview. With what seems like an inexperienced person on the other side.
No feedback. No input. Its seemed like an exercise with a robot.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1 week)
The recruiter was very nice. She asked general questions about my background. Within a week, she followed up with a personal email saying the hiring manager wanted experience that I did not have. The phone interview was about 30 minutes long. We connected on LinkedIn also.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
Interview as part of the screening to get to an initial short list. Did not make the short list as they have a typical profile and experience they look for. Interested in your sales training and sales methodology. Said subsequent interviews would include a staged interview with someone representing a CIO.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 4 weeks)
I was recruited by a sales manager who knew me from the past. After an initial phone interview I was brought in for one-on-one meetings with the divisional VP and a few others I knew from a previous job. The interview with the divisional VP consisted of him explaining the opportunity using as many buzz words as he could fit into a 30 minute meeting. It was obvious he was in over his head and desperate to find someone to help him look good to senior management.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Fort Myers, FL (took 2 months)
Very long interview process where they constantly change dates and do not get back to you. Took over two months. It is a great company, but only once your in it. During the interview process, they constantly made me feel like I wasn't good enough, even though I was very qualified for the position

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Stamford, CT (took a day)
Gartner is a funny place. I enjoyed meeting the several people I interviewed with and it was a long day. When i wrote thank you notes a few days later only a couple of the people i met replied. Basically, the job went to a friend of one of the people I interviewed with which apparently is a trend at Gartner as almost everyone in the department knew each other before working at Gartner. So my advice is to network into this place if you are really interested in a job there. Experience and Education does not necessarily matter. Connections with people there does.....
