I applied through university. I interviewed at Gartner (New York, NY) in Jan 2025
Interview
Process: The entire process took around 3 weeks and consisted of four rounds.
1. Recruiter Screening (30 minutes): Discussed my background, previous projects, work authorization, and salary expectations.
2. Technical Round 1 (1 hour): Focused primarily on SQL and data analysis concepts. I was asked to write queries involving joins, window functions, aggregations, and discuss approaches to data validation and troubleshooting data discrepancies.
3. Technical Round 2 (1 hour): This round was more scenario-based. I was given a business problem involving declining user engagement and asked how I would define metrics, analyze data, and communicate findings to stakeholders. There were also questions on Python, dashboards, and A/B testing methodologies.
4. Hiring Manager Round (45 minutes): Discussed cross-functional collaboration, handling ambiguous requirements, prioritization, and examples of driving business impact using data.

I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner in Oct 2025
Interview
I interviewed with Gartner twice for two different software engineering roles. During my initial interview for the second role, I spoke with the same recruiter I had met during my first application. Both experiences were pretty underwhelming.
In the first call kept their camera off the entire time, and the conversation only lasted about ten minutes. It felt rushed and a bit impersonal. When I applied again for a different role a few months later, I had a similar experience where the recruiter didn’t seem very engaged or interested in the conversation.
The process felt unorganized and lacked communication.
