I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner (Dallas, TX) in Jun 2025
Interview
It was convoluted and didn’t really gauge my experience and strengths as an employee. Very focused on the STAR method and wanted the answer structure to reflect star rather than provided a well round and thoughtful explanation.
