Pros

You’ll work with some good people. Great benefits.

Cons

Claim to be a technology company, but they don’t invest in technology. Militant culture - They use scare tactics and will say you have the wrong mindset, if you don’t do exactly what they say. Archaic processes in place - Just an all around old feeling type of culture. Leadership is scared to go against the grain and claim to be onboard, but secretly want out and are trying to back door other opportunities and get out of Gartner. Some have already left.

Pros

Great health insurance benefits and that is it. This place is AWFUL! You couldn't pay me to come back.

Cons

Everything but I'll list them off: 1. It's 99% white people at the company - zero diversity. 2. You're constantly being micromanaged. 3. My manager used to play favorites and was really creepy and aggressive towards my female co-workers. 4. Toxic environment to be in - you will hate going into the office everyday. 5. You have to stroke your superiors ego. 6. Sales performance is 100% based on luck depending on which territory you're in, who's your account manager, and who's your direct manager. 7. They don't practice what they preach. I could list of 100 more reasons why this company SUCKS but I hope with the reasons above you're able to stay far away from this place. Good luck in your endeavors.

Pros

I have been with this organization for over 6 years in various roles and departments. Generous PTO policy and great benefits. Great opportunity for growth if you have a manager who is passionate about your development. Great brand recognition. Fun role and ability to really build strong relationships with clients and internal partners.

Cons

Over the last three years, Gartner has turned into a metrics-focused organization. Very little room to make any mistakes or learn from them. All the focus is on cost cutting (no holiday party, no budget for team outings, no travel). Many pains coming from the acquisition of CEB. Gartner prides itself on being a "people-driven" organization. Employee engagement is at an all-time low and culture is not very positive. Their focus is on "referrals" with little attention to the well-being of current employees. Start investing in your employees and show that you are treating them as more than a number. Turnover is extremely high and it does not seem like leadership is doing anything to curb it. Working from home is not allowed, although the majority of our workforce outside of the Ft Myers office works from home. They want us to be in the office for the sake of being in the office. You hire great people for a reason, start trusting the "great" people you hire and let us have flexibility in our work to do our job.
