Pros

Gartner has built its reputation on the IT/Supply Chain/Marketing Side where they are best in class for the advisory services they provide and they are a well recognized name that opens doors when you're trying to win new business.

Cons

Through the acquisition of CEB, they have tried to bring the Gartner model to CEB. It is going through a lot of growing pains right now with a lot of internal complexity. The programs at CEB don't have the depth or the support they need to be sold at a world class level like Gartner's legacy business. They are trying to get there, but it takes time. The deal pace has not been what they anticipated, and it will take a lot of effort to get there.

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.
