Pros

Great health insurance benefits and that is it. This place is AWFUL! You couldn't pay me to come back.

Cons

Everything but I'll list them off: 1. It's 99% white people at the company - zero diversity. 2. You're constantly being micromanaged. 3. My manager used to play favorites and was really creepy and aggressive towards my female co-workers. 4. Toxic environment to be in - you will hate going into the office everyday. 5. You have to stroke your superiors ego. 6. Sales performance is 100% based on luck depending on which territory you're in, who's your account manager, and who's your direct manager. 7. They don't practice what they preach. I could list of 100 more reasons why this company SUCKS but I hope with the reasons above you're able to stay far away from this place. Good luck in your endeavors.

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.
