Pros

Structured company, a good initial training, some good processes, international environment. Overall it's a good first step in B2B sales, with trainings and best practices.

Cons

There is no equal treatment nor equal opportunity. Too many dodgy situations in business (you can be assigned accounts that have already decided to not continue with Gartner, hence you are responsible for something you haven't even influenced, and then you're left alone) that might be paid directly by the Account Executives without any responsibility nor protection by the company. Too many ad-hoc decisions, the constant different treatment even in the same team and the overall results that employees are not happy. The Business Developer role gets higher salary and treatment. It's a good sales school but not the company to work for in the long term. Salary is not aligned to the market and the location is not convenient for those who are living in the city.

Pros

Work life balance, though in late 2026 will be required to go back to office. Full autonomy for your own schedule.

Cons

Absolutely no path for growth.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
