A complete waste of my time. They kept me waiting for an answer for weeks and at the end there were no position not aswering my emails. Long process, Recruitment Agency, Internal HR recruiter, 2 phone interviews, panel interview. They are not serious and they wont care about the candidate for a minute...

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Fort Myers, FL (took 1+ week)
You will interview with the recruiter who will then forward you on to a manager if you are a fit. You will have a phone interview with the manager, which typically lasts an hour. If the phone interview goes well, you will be brought into Gartner to interview face to face with the hiring manager. If that goes well, you will be brought into a panel interview where you will be asked to do a sales presentation on yourself and why Gartner should hire you.

Interviewed Jul 2008 (took 6+ weeks)
I was referred to them from an unnamed source. Recruiter was very professional and explained the job in detail, as well as interviewed me thoroughly. I had to take an online personality test which took a couple of hours. Recruiter attempted several times to set up meetings with hiring manager (Regional Sales Director), but his travel and mine didn't coincide (not their fault).
I was able to arrange a phone conversation with the hiring manager, and we seemed to hit it off well. We agreed the next steps would for me to travel to their offices for a day of interviews as well as do a presentation.
I cut off discussions because a couple huge commissions were coming through at that exact time with my then-current employer.
Bad mistake on my part - it is a great company and I regret not following through with the interview process.

Interviewed May 2009 in Arlington, VA (took 3 months)
I was contacted by a recruiter who asked a few basic questions about my business development experience, then sent me a timed personality test. I think it was about 30 mins long. A couple of days later she contacted me to say I was a good fit for the company and we set the interview date for about a month later.
The interview itself was casual with run of the mill questions about sales prowess, why Gartner, previous work experience challenges and my expectations of the position I was interviewing for.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Stamford, CT (took 4+ weeks)
Bad communication between HR and the hiring manager made this process last longer than it should have. My HR rep was rude,incompetent, and did not understand the business. The job description did not match the actual job. The position was finally put on hold and I have not heard back from HR.
