Pros

Evidence-based research provides sound foundation for objective insights, benchmarking for use in business when you leave Gartner, which will likely be in one year or less. Look left, look right, 90% of your team will be gone within the next several months. Just relocated? I know, it's awful they did this to you, It's okay, start applying for other jobs immediately! Plan B, you owe it to yourself; you are amazing! You have skills transferable. Also, for sanity, join Toastmasters on your lunch breaks, it will help you increase your self confidence, when management and training kicks you down. Huddle together with the GOOD, noncorrupt new talented people you find, and help eachother with resumes, job references, and applications, that is what our team did! You are in this together! You are not alone, also use EAP, you will need it. Counseling, lots of counseling after this traumatic experience.

Cons

Inexperienced management, HR turns blind eye to coaching by fear, favoritism, bullying, toxic culture Not for professionals, for college graduates looking to learn how to golf in the hallways, and play pingpong Not for innovators or those with new ideas, a piece of yourself floats away every day you stay, do yourself a favor, and do NOT accept the offer, take time to look into a company that has a positive workplace culture and cares about their employees. The numerous interviews should be a warning sign already!

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
