Gartner reviews

Graphic designers beware! Software Advice chews them up and spits them out. Tenures are short and experience is a disadvantage. However if you like to obey orders rather than create things, then you'll be happy. Parent company Gartner still working out how to exploit its small business acquisitions more than two years after it started collecting them. Promises about career growth possibilities have no relationship with reality. Maybe they will one day, but not yet. Lots of rigid, redundant processes which do nothing for the quality of the content and negatively impact productivity. The marketing management team doesn't understand the audience for their content. Previously the strategy was to create obscure research on software topics nobody cares about. Currently it's to crank out as much stuff as possible and hope for the best. Simplistic approach to SEO. A narrow understanding of marketing. Stay too long and you will miss out on important things you should be learning, and you'll probably pick up some bad habits too.

Professional growth for sales people stinks. Gartner is very good old boy network / fraternal when it comes to promotions and hiring for new positions from within. Women get paid less and promoted less often then men. Most managers are poorly equipped to manage people. They lack charisma and the skill to lead. The managers that are selected for their jobs are believed to me good process managers. The sales database is a time waster and there is a lot of manual work and duplicate processes. This job is a 2-4 year gig.
