Pros

Brand is global, name opens doors and clients listen to you. Research is outstanding and there are experts in every IT field you can think of.

Cons

Difficult to overcome the assumption we are just a research house. Dont have the flexibility of a LLP given we are a public company. Very target orientated culture fail to hit your numbers and you're toast.

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.
