Pros

The HR team is approachable and helpful but powerless. Though every team has a HRBP assigned but they really cannot put forward their thoughts to arrogant and self-centered business heads.

Cons

The business heads of the digital marketing team is pathetic. They will only keep puppets under and around them who hardly has any business knowledge or ideas, people who are just seat warmers and the leaders too fall in the same category. Employees who are in their leader's good books would get promoted even being in PIP, employees who can just dress up well and flatter the leaders can get promoted to a managerial role in 1 year and again a senior manager in next 6 months, by doing absolutely nothing which would enhance business value, the only thing that can help you flourish in this team is being a dumb and idiot person, who can just dress up well, put tons of make-up on their face and keep your leaders happy, that's all you need to succeed! Isn't that amazing and easy? Employees who have sound knowledge of the business and work positively in right terms will get humiliated in the team every day to a level that you become mentally disabled and resign finally!!

Pros

Terrific coworkers. Nearly everyone at the company is pleasant, professional, and willing to help you even if you’ve never met them before. Hybrid work environment. People generally seem to care about you on an individual level. One of the best corporations I’ve worked for.

Cons

Gartner is not in a great place right now. The business model requires changes and Wall Street analysts have tremendous doubts about the corporate liability in the era of AI. Stock has fallen in half over the past two years. Massive layoffs across the company. Doubt the stability is there for any kind of medium term or long-term career. Below market compensation, offset by pros above when they exist.
