Pros

Company: -Market leader and well respected -Great culture & collaboration -Incredibly smart people work here JOB: -pay per performance. good bonuses and commission once you made your number -opportunity for learning, growing and being promoted -High paced and growing channel -good training

Cons

Company: - will the growth be infinite? are Gartner's services and market approach still optimal in 2012? - every year growth targets get bigger -employee turnover in some departments Job: - every year growth targets get bigger, client retention is only stable at best. - base and OTE salary are below average - lots of growth leads to lots of promotions. because of this, some of them are questionable - disparity in territory & quotas between teams and sales people within the same team. no fixed rule, it comes down to the Area Manager's preference

Pros

Good benefits and work from home schedule

Cons

Gartner has lost much of what once made it a great place to work. The culture has become increasingly focused on micromanagement, with excessive oversight and an overwhelming number of metrics driving day-to-day activities. Employees are often measured on quantity rather than quality, creating unnecessary pressure and reducing job satisfaction. What was once an engaging and collaborative environment no longer feels enjoyable. Morale has declined as leadership places more emphasis on tracking performance than supporting employees. Staff are frequently treated as numbers rather than valued contributors, leading to frustration and disengagement. Overall, the company has lost its luster. Unless significant changes are made to improve employee experience, reduce micromanagement, and foster a more supportive culture, it will continue to struggle with retention and employee satisfaction.!
