Pros
Most of the people you work with are great people that truly care about what they do. It is an environment of self development and learning. You develop partnerships across the business that can lead into friendships. The clients you work with that know what Gartner is capable of and respect your time, truly are the reason you go to work everyday.
Cons
Out of 5 managers, there is only 1 that truly cares about their people and willing to coach them into better people. The culture they brag about “development” is a joke and they do not trust their people. The way you are measured with arbitrary definitions and little consistency, makes even the most successful fail based on what leadership wants. They trust you to work with C-level executives at all levels but not leave your desk. They promote incompetent leaders that are only out for themselves and expect you to just drink the koolaid.
