Pros

Remote work, paid on renewals when they actually happen.

Cons

Analyst team has shrunk and the research is non existent. As weak as it’s ever been and that’s saying a lot. High ticket prices and dated product suit which is extremely limited. Records amounts of turnover with people quite quitting and being fired without cause. Inexperienced leadership team with zero direction or understanding what the market conditions mean or how to address these. VPs across this segment being nothing to their teams or have any type of real experience with in the industry. Most were promoted with out real experience or even qualifications. Managers with massive egos and warped sense of self and accomplishments. Some Barely work and treat their reps with disrespect and Contempt. They don’t lead they Simply track fake pipeline and forecasts. Massive amounts of open head counts and the hiring profile is junior people who don’t have the needed experience to know that the role they are undertaking is a failure before they even start. People with tenor are running for the hills and looking for an opportunity and not plans and unrealistic expectations. Clients are dropping left and right and the ones who stay are cutting spend at alarming rates.

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.
