Gartner has high potential, but...

Pros

Family, work life balance is very much supported within Gartner. Flexibility of work time is also supported highly within the organization. Gartner provides excellent benefits. Gartner also provides a lot of opportunity to move within the organization and to other locations where a particular business operates from including overseas.

Cons

Lack of accountability by management and associates who should own tasks or projects. Middle management competence is quite low. Accountability usually lies on lower level associates which lowers morale and keeps people from being motivated to take risks and be innovative. Personal ambitions and agendas take precedence more often then not. Thats not to say that many companies are not like that but world class companies operate like teams and not against each other, which seems to be the case across many areas.

Pros

Gartner has a great reputation and brings respect to the employees wherever they go. They do a good job of setting job expectations and monitoring progress toward those objectives. They treat their analysts well and expect great things from them. The Gartner culture values real thought leadership without creating analysts with giant egos.

Cons

Ironically, internal technology does not facilitate collaboration, cooperation or efficiency. Like in many companies, the IT department has created a separate software application for virtually every task employees do to complete their job. While there is significant progress toward improving this, there is still a long way to go.
