      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 19, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Barcelona
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Barcelona) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      TLDR: Very good experience. They made sure to make me feel comfortable in all steps. Very professional. 1) Talk with the recruiter. The recruiter was very nice and welcoming. Explained what the company does, asked me about my past experiences and how the hiring process would be. 2) Talk with the Engineering Manager. High-level technical chat, past experiences, room for questions about the company and the team, and explanation of the next steps. 3) Home test They send you a repo with requirements in order for the candidate to implement it. 4) Home test evaluation + technical questions They started doing some questions regarding my solution to understand my decisions. They try to spot some places that could be refactored and they ask you what you think about it. After that, they start to ask me questions about both general programming knowledge as tech-specific ones. 5) Another round of technical assessment This one is more relaxed as they give you problems and scenarios and ask you how would you solve a given issue. 6) Chat with VP As a last step in the hiring process, you will chat with the VP in order to get a broader view of the business and also have space for you to elaborate on my business view of my past companies.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Dallas, TX)

      Interview

      I applied online, then a recruiter scheduled a call on MS Teams , I joined the call and turned on my camera but his cam was offline the whole time, and he joined late to the call and talked about the position and asked about me, but I haven't heard back from him ever since and he ghosted me, very bad experience I had with them.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 7, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Gartner in Aug 2024

      Interview

      This position was open for several months. I applied online. Got a phone screen phone call. I had not committed to it since I had other offers I was considering. The recruiter reached out to me again and seemed ethusiastic. At that point I said that I wanted to go ahead with the interview process. A month passed and I have not heard anything. Someting told me to just jot a follow-up line. At that point I got replies from several HR people at the company tht moved my application forward. Original recruiter wrote back, appologized and said that got busy with other. I thought, "WTF? That's your job". Anway, went ahead through three more rounds of interviews, one with a manager, one with an architect and the final one with the director. I thought I did well and my resume was ideal for this position, but a few days later I got an email telling me that the company would not go ahead with my canadidacy. A month has passed and I see the same job posting on multiple board sites. This company is either not serious about filling this posistion or there is something else going on.
