I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Fort Myers, FL) in Oct 2017
Interview
They described the process as follows: initial engagement, phone screen with recruiter, deeper phone screen with senior recruiter, phone interview with manager, field day in FL office.
This company is cult-like. They only hire you if you live, breathe, and eat Gartner. I asked what their decision making criteria would be and the recruiter's response was "personality". Personality is important, but they should value background and history as well. If you do not LOVE working as a team, going to outings with your co-workers, and essentially sacrificing your social life for Gartner - then this won't be a good fit for you. I'm guessing the culture here is based on favoritism. I do not want to work in a place like that.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.

Interview
30 minute phone call with recruiter. Next is 1 hour with recruiter about your background, behavioral questions. Then 1 hour with LSA with questions on your background and a role play.
HR is very accommodating and helpful through the whole process. It can be a little confusing how they structure and and label their position but easily cleared up when talking in first rounds. They are professional and get back quickly. Overall a very positive experience.
