Pros

If you walk into a great book of business you can basically do nothing and make "winners circle" at the end of the year. It's all luck of the draw.

Cons

If you walk into a terrible book of business you're basically screwed and will be fired in a year. Leadership has no idea what's going on. They make up new metrics every other week. All account managers and account executives have no formal IT training, yet they're expected to have conversations with senior leaders at tech companies. They hire anyone they can get, it's not selective at all. It creates an environment of the "blind leading the dumb." Do not waste your time with this company. Their stock price keeps dropping and they will be out of business in the next 10 years as their clients are starting to realize that Gartner provides ZERO practical value to their bottom line. Their entire business model is "theoretical ROI" if everything goes right. It's no mystery that the CEO sold almost all of his stock before it dropped.

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.
