      Pros

      - Young, start up like culture - Opportunities to grow if you're hired onto a team invested in their people - Easy to move around within the company - Outside of pay, great time off and benefits - D&I efforts starting to pay off

      Cons

      - Horrible management practices - lack of effective coaches and managers - Illogical decision making at the leadership level - Burn and churn culture - Pay 23% below industry standard - Gartner acquisition has people stressed and uncertain - overachievers are becoming micromanagers from hell while others are completely checked out fearing severance

      Can't make $ in sales here; poor sales mgmt

      Senior account executive

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My VP was the BEST VP I've ever had and great communicator. My Sales Mgr was the WORST I've ever had. Culture is great and the name is strong but Gartner just isn't a "must have" in the IT space. When budgets are cut, Gartner is one of the first things that goes. There is room For advancement if you have < 8 yrs total experience, but if you have > 10 yrs selling C Suite, you'll likely be frustrated. CEO is a smart guy (ex McKinsey).

      Cons

      Gartner is very silo' and Biz model is very academic. Clients want "do'ers" not "thinkers" or a bunch of has been CIO's (called a variety of things like Executive Partners) who basically mentor CIOs. Lots of changes at the corporate level - several BOD changes and senior leadership changes = company in transition. Top sales person in CT (HQ) W'd ~ $225k (good $) but you can go anywhere else in tech and make 2-3x that if you're any good. I left bc of a bad mgr who was very immature, talked about high performing EE's behind their backs in front of the team. Not a place many would want to call home for very long. They sell at the enterprise level it NOT enterprise deals. Avg deal size nationally is ~ $33k. (Enterprise deals are >$1M)

      Pros

      Good benefits I guess ?

      Cons

      Sales recruiting team is the most disorganized, mismanaged team -- terrible culture, no procedures in place, senior managers basically eat and work out all day and nothing else
