Pros

I love the people I work with, most of whom are holdovers from CEB and the merger in 2017. Our offices are nice and the benefits aren't bad. Good PTO

Cons

Gartner prioritizes revenue at all costs. They pay new employees with significantly less experience more, while expecting more tenured employees receiving lower while being responsible for, quite literally, 2-4x the work/revenue. I get the feeling at every turn that employees are expendable- lots of shadiness around commissions and bonuses, with you having to fight every step of the way to get money promised and owed. Management has no interested in career development or promotion and is only looking out for themselves and Gartner shareholders. Treated like children, requiring 30+ year olds with families to be in early/stay late/in the day after Christmas for arbitrary reasons. If you feel you have to force employees to be in early/late/over time they should be with their family in order to get the job done, perhaps you should invest in hiring better employees who are self starters.

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.
