Pros

The other analysts. They are brilliant, helpful, and good friends. The ability to collaborate on cutting edge topics. The wonderful customers not only want to listen, but have great feedback as well. It is truly a two way communication and learning experience with customers (both end-user and vendors).

Cons

The quality of life that was a major factor to attract and retain talent is now non-existent, especially in research among the analysts. Many analysts are either leaving or making plans to do so. Others are out on sick leave due to fatigue. The willingness to help others is wavering due to 60-70 hour work weeks.

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.
