Pros

Great training, they make sure you're ready to hit the ground running. Reputable company which makes for a great first full time position on the resume.

Cons

Culture, which is a major bragging point for Gartner is quickly festering into a toxic work environment. Pay discrepancy success, and overall happiness in the role is totally dependent on which function (finance, hr, risk, gov) and you have no control in where you are placed. This leads to people in easier jobs getting paid more and getting more recognition for simply sending out generic emails a few times a week.

Work life balance, though in late 2026 will be required to go back to office. Full autonomy for your own schedule.

Absolutely no path for growth.

Pros

Totally remote and the hours that you work can be flexible. The other designers are very friendly and willing to help you out when solving problems. The company provides you with equipment to work with. They also forbid the use of AI in their presentations with is extremely respectable.

Cons

You are paid based on billable hours. Management is strict about how much time you spend on each project, but you also have to make sure to meet a quota of billable hours each week. It can be hard to find a balance and the time counting down while working is stressful.
