Pros

-Initially great training -Great opportunity to master C Suite conversations -When a Client is engaged the conversations can be very fulfilling -Not bad base salary ( but not great either) -If you get a good patch with a client that likes Gartner, Can be amazing.

Cons

-Gartner only promotes from within which is both commendable but also leads to little variety in management style -Outdated sales methodology and metrics -Losses are never talked about or lessons learnt from them. -Reduction in territory sizes and generally terrible prospect accounts for AE. lots of rehashing of accounts to the unlucky new hires. -Amazing amount of churn which is never recognised as an issue. -Very little meaningful coaching from AM's. deal reviews and box ticking exercises mainly -Lots of internal meetings that are repetitive -need to be near Egham to progress

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.
