      Pros

      The company has a great reputation in the IT field. Everybody I worked with was highly professional and smart. In general it is a very collaborative environment that puts the success of a project over personal gains.

      Cons

      Once you get close to the senior management ranks your growth opportunities are limited. Many folks in senior management have been there for years, if not even decades which breeds a certain level mediocrity.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Access to IT Research - Ability to work with Senior Executives of companies - Independent work environment (telecommuting is normal)

      Cons

      - to understand how Gartner operates you have to basically brown nose the MPs - to ensure you have a project to work on, you have to constantly search out what is coming up which means more brown nosing of the MPs - getting to work on a project is more about who you have kissed up to the most vs what skills and knowledge you bring to the table - performance evals are very subjective and normalzed so that only those that brown nose the most are awarded the full bonus payout - compete against your coworkers all the time - somewhat cliqueish environment - rather high utilization rate - the rate is based upon 2080 hours a year meaning they don't believe you should take holidays - they believe that you can work on holidays and therefore you are penalized for taking them i.e., your utilization rate is decreased each holiday you take thus hurting your chances to earn your bonus

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Executive management Focus on improving products and services

      Cons

      Operational managers within research are functionaries, and don't really understand how to manage highly talented analysts Upward and lateral mobility is severely constrained
