Pros

Your colleagues will be incredibly talented and dedicated people who truly care about doing their best to support Gartner clients.

Cons

Pay is low compared to what people can get elsewhere. Very poor raises, even for the highest performers, even when the company does very well. Every function is understaffed and overwhelmed. Analysts are extremely stressed. More than one has had to take time off due to exhaustion, particularly recently. Too many meaningless metrics to hit - everything is important. You will be called out for every minor slip in metrics. Morale in analyst ranks is very low, and attrition is rising. We give it our very best day after day, and the Company - upper management - doesn't seem to care in the least. All they care about is stock price.

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
