Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Gartner (Londres, Inglaterra) em set. de 2015
Entrevista
I had a first extensive phone interview with a gentleman from HR which covered the main points on my CV, motivations, skills and even salary expectations. The follow-up was with another member of the HR which, supposedly would go more in-depth than the initial one (as mentioned by the initial HR person), but my perception was that this second person did not prepare the interview and was posing the 'template' questions while reading my CV. The second interview was much shorter, no insight to the role was given nor probing questions to evaluate me. I have tried to expand it by doing follow-up questions about the company, the team, the operations, but again this person looked unprepared and not knowledgeable about the role being discussed. Overall... big disappointment with Gartner.

Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn, I did not even apply but figured I’d hear about the position. Had a great conversation then the recruiter never followed up with me when she said she would. I sent emails following up on the interview process and got ignored. Incredibly unprofessional I’d believe the negative reviews on here.

Entrevista
Overall, the company left the impression of having very poor process management. I entered their recruitment process twice, and both times the process consisted of 5 lengthy stages:
30-minute introductory call
STAR method interview
Role-play session
Manager interview
Recruitment and business introduction meeting
Especially the 2nd and 3rd stages were extremely challenging and required serious preparation. Despite expecting significant effort and preparation from candidates, the communication and process management were not handled with the same level of professionalism.
I progressed to the 4th stage, but then they kept me waiting for about a month without any proper update. Eventually, they informed me that the position had been frozen. For such a global company, not being able to properly plan and manage hiring positions within the year was quite surprising.
In addition, despite the long and demanding process, the salary offered was not particularly above the market average. Overall, I did not find the candidate experience professional or well-organized.
The first round was mostly behavioral questions. HR focused on understanding my personal thinking, problem-solving style, and how I approach challenges, rather than just my past work experience. They wanted to learn more about my values, motivation, and how I make decisions in different situations. The conversation felt like a mix of personal insight questions and hypothetical scenarios.
