Pros

There are no pros in this company

Cons

1. This is not an analysis team. This is a reporting team.They lie in the job description as well as during the interviews. They will say that you will be doing business analysis and strategy planning, but all they make you do is cut copy paste in excel / refresh power BI dashboards manually/ change numbers in excel sheet manually every day. 2. The leadership is terrible. The middle managers as well as senior leaders. All managers in India care about is looking good in front of their leaders in US. They don't care about employees/ work life balance/ personal growth/ mental health / your interest. 3. And there are no promotions / merit increases. There is no promotion criteria. the only criteria is if you suck up to your managers, you will get promoted. If you raise your voice against all the wrongs in the team, you will never get promoted. 4. There is huge disparity between lateral hires (from IIT's) and the college hires from IIT (salary as well the way they are treated in the company). The IIT college hires are considered special in the team (they are given better projects), their salary is 1.5 times the salary of lateral hires. 5. There is no way you can give feedback to anyone. If you give true constructive negative feedback, it will come to bite you in the back during promotions/merit increase. They float our barometers where you can give feedback but none of the feedback is acted upon. And last but not the least, the work is TERRIBLE. These are the things you'll do in this team: 1. VLOOKUP in multiple excels 2. Manual adjustments of numbers in excel sheets 3. Refresh dashboards by clicking a button 4. Struggle for finding the right data 5. Prepare same PPT every month (which has 20-50 slides) with different numbers but you have to prepare them manually because there is no automation. And then changing the numbers in those slides as per the leaders whims. 6. All the good analysis projects are given to other teams because senior leaders don't much care about this team and middle managers are much too busy in flattering them.

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

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.
