Gartner reviews

•Leadership and culture have become increasingly toxic, performance management is often punitive rather than developmental •Performance Improvement Plans are frequently used to push people out, not to help them improve •Lack of consistency in management — your experience depends entirely on who your manager is •HR claims to support fairness and inclusion, but will almost always side with management regardless of evidence •Unrealistic expectations with moving targets and constant micromanagement •Burnout is normalized and turnover is extremely high, especially among strong performers who simply get worn down •Little recognition for the people actually doing the work; upper management is out of touch with day-to-day reality

The worst analysts end up becoming managers. Too much meddling by clueless non SME managers under the pretext of “content quality”. Slow research publication process. In person client interaction is discouraged resulting in buyer dissatisfaction. Overall toxic environment. Research division and analyst morale in decline for the last 4 years or so. Executive management team clueless. Throws darts and reorganizes teams with zero strategy causing unnecessary churn and anxiety resulting in a toxic environment. Management jobs are filled through cronyism often without advertising them transparently.
