Pros

Strong brand, 900 pound gorilla, smart people, challenge convention, considerable resources to support business development and broad global coverage. Analysts's capacity varies in terms of level of insight and sales support.

Cons

Process heavy;cumbersome sales management programs that often are cumbersome. All consuming business given culture and service offerings. Old boys club which can impact ability to advance up the management hierarchy...who you know and not what you know. There are some integrity issues that filter down the communication chain from management to line managers to sales executives.

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

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.
