Pros

Great place to start your career in sales Learn how to communicate with C Level Executives Develop transferable skills that will set you apart when you leave Gartner Learn Business strategy Benefits are great

Cons

Quotas are not aligned to opportunity within for each AEs opportunity within their book of business/territory Many uncontrollables that will determine your success or failures Value prop is changing for supplier side of the business. It will be a few years until the product resonates with buyers. Your manager means everything to your success. Gartner hires from within and will promote based on a year of success and likeness. Not many leaders in the management position but more order takers. Not many sales tools to support your success

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.
