Pros

The other analysts. They are brilliant, helpful, and good friends. The ability to collaborate on cutting edge topics. The wonderful customers not only want to listen, but have great feedback as well. It is truly a two way communication and learning experience with customers (both end-user and vendors).

Cons

The quality of life that was a major factor to attract and retain talent is now non-existent, especially in research among the analysts. Many analysts are either leaving or making plans to do so. Others are out on sick leave due to fatigue. The willingness to help others is wavering due to 60-70 hour work weeks.

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.!
