Pros

+ Bright, smart and driven people within Gartner + Gartner has a world-class brand name and opens a lot of doors to C-level executives + Strong sales culture, numbers talk

Cons

- Top management makes bad decisions on hiring the wrong middle managers. Often promotes people with numbers instead of making sure they are good people managers. - Benefits are non-existent (in particular outside US) - Gartner is growing, aggressively and quickly - which also creates more opportunities to make more errors, i.e. hiring the wrong individual for the wrong job.

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.
