Pros

Name brand makes it easy to get meetings Product is valuable Easy to hit quota even if you are below average at sales

Cons

Below market pay Commission plan is not that good you can get better plans at startups yet they wave an 87% retention rate around 401k match is low max out is lower Health insurance is built for single/young people Family leave is the legal bare minimum Training/onboarding is a confused mess A custom clunky unused CRM (this is not a joke) they are a 4.5 billion dollar company and they donot have salesforce.com or hubspot nothing. You have to manage your pipeline and leads in excel and use your outlook calendar to keep track of opportunities/leads. No call/meeting notes on previous meetings exist make sure you are good at keeping files and you might save yourself a few hours each week trying to find things. This company is cheap and it shows.

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.
