Pros

Gartner has a great brand, disciplined culture, and CAN push people to exemplify more business acumen. Cutting edge research, exposure to high level business strategy, and a challenging environment can help you develop. You can leave at 5 every day. You can easily make $75k with working 8 hours a day with mediocre success.

Cons

Ask your recruiter how they are calculating the percentage of winner circle recipients. Be skeptical. If you were earning over $110k+ previous to this role, know it will be nearly impossible to replicate that type of success in this in SMB, even with the cushy base. Your manager will have less experience than you do.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
