Pros

You have access to a vast amount of technology insight that you can't get anywhere else. If you put in the time to read the reports you will be smarter that when you first joined. They provide the best sales training that is effective and powerful. You feel that you truly work for the best company in research and advisory - bar none. The Winner's Circle events are great recognition. More importantly, everyone is recognized when they do a job well done. Area Managers are very good at recognition in a timely manner. Work/Life balance is great. You work from home - so you must be a self-starter. The events wow every attendee.

Cons

High turnover of sales people. Limited career path in sales - Senior Account Manager to an Area Manager to 1 VP to SVP.

Pros

Terrific coworkers. Nearly everyone at the company is pleasant, professional, and willing to help you even if you’ve never met them before. Hybrid work environment. People generally seem to care about you on an individual level. One of the best corporations I’ve worked for.

Cons

Gartner is not in a great place right now. The business model requires changes and Wall Street analysts have tremendous doubts about the corporate liability in the era of AI. Stock has fallen in half over the past two years. Massive layoffs across the company. Doubt the stability is there for any kind of medium term or long-term career. Below market compensation, offset by pros above when they exist.
