Pros
- Gartner moves fast and it sees success because of it. It's a company that isn't afraid to try something new or making process improvements, but to the detriment of its staff. There is a lot of change and high expectations, which isn't for good work/life balance or thinking about employees' careers in the middle of the craziness. -The company is heavily staffed, which is good when you need to get a lot done and your moving quickly as a company. Bad because there is a lot of overlap in work and effort. You can't figure out who owns what. -Solid benefits and good PTO.
Cons
-This company says it is "diverse" and makes an investment in the community and it's actually very surface-level. It hasn't really made an effort to create inclusion or have a diverse population. Just look at its leadership or any pictures on its website. It also relies on employees to start the community service efforts and then advertises it as if the company is making the investment. They try to create an impression of the company that isn't completely honest. -There is a heavy focus on revenue and only revenue. So much so that employees are deterred from being engaged at work in fear of taking their focus off bring in new business. -Who wants to live in Stamford, CT or Fort Myers, FL and work in a corporate park? Let's be honest. -Heavy on the micromanagement. They create processes to check on work that actually reduces the time working! Loosen up and let employees work hard, but also have a moment to enjoy working. -For starting as a IT research firm, it's not very tech savvy and doesn't practice a lot of what it preaches. Pretty old school in technology use in the workplace. -They asked specific employees to post on Glassdoor so it looks like everything is positive. Don't believe everything you read online.
