Pros

Great research Very intelligent people. Good benefits.

Cons

Joined a service delivery manager. In one year, I had accounts with Sales account executive turnover of up to 500% - yes, in 12 months 5 different sales people were introduced to manage this account. The systems are TERRIBLE - for an organisation that matches analysts with clients - it can take 2-3 weeks to get a booking for a service that costs $100-300k a year. Sometimes it takes a week or two to find out it is a do not cover. The organisation is highly metric driven with metrics that do not put the client first.

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.
