Gartner reviews

There are so many cons about this company, I can't even keep track. First off, no one there thinks for themselves, and the lack of professionalism is minimal. They don't practice what they preach. They don't treat employees with respect, unless they are sucking up to the ladder. Favoritism is displayed at its finest at this company. Management, especially in Inquiry, may be the worst I have ever seen in a working environment. Just because someone is good at inputting numbers on a computer screen, doesn't mean the next logical step is management, but that is what they do. The are some on the dullest, least creative people I have ever met. They don't care about the people the are "supposedly" managing, but only looking out for themselves to impress the guy at the top. Some managers don't even have the skill to talk to people on their teams as professionals. I can keep going, but the best thing I can say here is just don't even waste your time, because you won't be accomplishing anything.

The robotic CEO and his C-level staff are all about metrics, many of which do not measure what is important to getting the job done or bringing sustainable growth to the company. Employee engagement is completely unimportant to the leader and his groupthink squad. Top analysts and sales pros are fleeing, and the CEO clearly feels that's fine: replace them with less-experienced people. It's all about the bureaucracy at Gartner (which is unwieldy as hell, by the way!). The culture feels more like the DMV than a profit-driven company. With only about 5,000 employees globally, that's just odd: I've seen plenty of companies with ten times that number of employees operate more smoothly than this.
