Pros

People are fairly nice and willing to help for the most part.

Cons

The ideation that this place is cult like is fairly true. They suck you and have new employees but into company propaganda fairly quickly. Truth is, this product is losing steam rapidly especially with AI coming into the fold. The role is geared towards new college graduates who are excited at the prospect of their first “big boy/girl” job. Those graduates then get lured in by the name, and end up staying years because all they know is the Gartner ecosystem. Performing IC’s are typically promoted to management which means managers have very little actual management experience which leads to a toxic culture. Crappy pay, crappy insurance, silo’d culture, out of touch leaders, cultish environment. Run, run, run.

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
