Pros

Gartner has really great people and I get along with nearly everyone I work with.

Cons

Work life balance is not good. You are NOT paid what you're worth, there is no pay transparency, and you have to work at a level or two above your title for 6 months-1 year before you're actually promoted so that your title and comp match your performance. Org is also terrible at maintaining employee mental health. Leaders are not well trained to respond to crisis, making 2020 a difficult year to work for Gartner. If you value your mental wellbeing and financial worth, this is NOT the place for you. Find a place that values you in comp, benefits and recognition the way they should. Gartner does not practice what they preach.

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.
