Great growth and management, need to believe more in product value

Account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is growing tremendously. With new products capturing new markets, they are poised for continued acceleration. Great healtcare coverage (no copays), about two dozen PTO days, incredible management team who genuinely wants the entire team to succeed. I’ve personally learned so much from our leaders.

Cons

Product ROI and need to buy is TBD for many of the verticals. With tremendous growth, collaboration is tough to achieve consistently. Working around the clock and no flexibility to work from home. An exorbitant amount of internal, “check the box” meetings, attempting to pivot to bring in more sales. Lots of folks feel the effect of burnout.

Pros

Gartner knows how to grow a company. Some really supportive and intelligent people work here, which shouldn't be taken for granted.

Cons

Gartner has acquired many companies, and as the acquirer, its company culture dominates (which I recognize would be true in any M&A scenario). Gartner is very process-oriented and has little emphasis on its people. For being a mid-sized company, it lacks humanity.

Lost its focus on people

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people Very good business model Interesting problems to solve Focused CEO

Cons

Other than CEO there is not much experience in senior management leading a company of Gartner’s current size. There is not much diversity at the most senior leadership levels especially in IT. This is not representative of the rest of the Gartner population. Not as people-focused as it once was.
