Pros

Benefits are ok. Good resume builder, the name carries weight in the IT industry. Training program is OK, not great. If you are in sales, working from home is usually acceptable.

Cons

THE PAY IS WELL BELOW PAR FOR TECH SALES. Management has no ability to connect with employees. Half the managers are hired because there are no better options, and or they raised their hand at the right time. Half the managers have never produced in an AE role at Gartner and therefore don't garner any respect. More often than not, new AEs will face 10-15% of their inherited book of business cancelling in the first year or two. This poses major issues because it really handcuffs your earning potential. It takes a while to build up your book of business if you are new to a territory. Once you "graduate" from the training program, there is little to no support during your ramp period. From my experience, management picks and chooses the winners/losers based on who they like or to make themselves look better. Overall, if you are in sales, I would avoid this place like the plague.

Name recognition, work with many intelligent analysts and clients

Cons

Very cut throat Company has grown too fast that people will do anything to climb the ladder while they have a chance. Lot's of unethical practices going on.

Investing in sales but not delivery; metrics are all that matter; hypocritical management style (do as I say, not as I do); consulting leadership is not strategic; people protect turf and forget about the customer
