Pros

Someone is always willing to help, good place to begin* career right out of college. Work life balance is good because you don't work that much.

Cons

Working with sales is awful--they treat you like an assistant. Further, upper management will not clearly define your path for growth unless you are a top performer who is about to be promoted. Being promoted at Gartner is extremely hard as the decision is not up to your manager, but your managers manager. Extreme lack in career opportunities. Additionally, pay increases are slim; if you hit your metrics(hard to due with current state of economy), you make a 10% bonus if hitting metrics plus a merit bonus which is around 2k. If you don't make metrics, you get a percentage of your yearly salary (2-4%) and no merit increase. Lastly, they do not inflation into account with salaries as they are a public company.

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.
