Pros

Good benefits PTO policy Intelligent co-workers Good product

Cons

If you like metrics and a "what have you done for me lately" mentality, then this is the place for you. The metrics in place are not resulting in the retention of accounts and leadership is putting the blame on those busting their butts on the front lines. Call volume requirements have exploded in the last few years resulting in 6 hours of call time per day ( yes I tracked this over a month time span). They are now recording all calls for "quality assurance", which is really just a way for management to peep into your day to day. Big brother is always watching. Call coaching being conducted by management that hasn't taken a call in 5 years. In a few months the scheduling will be automated which leaves me wondering what differentiates this place from a call center? Dont be fooled in the hyped up interview process. The client success department is headed down a path that offers no autonamy, you are a number.

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
