Pros

-I have never been with a company that cares so much about developing its employees. I know others have had different experiences and maybe I am lucky in that my managers have been truly invested in my success here, but this is an incredibly supportive and collaborative environment. People from the client partner group get promoted quite often. -They also take employee feedback incredibly seriously here. I had concerns after reading what others have said on Glassdoor about the company and this role, but I feel like those concerns were addressed right off the bat without me even having to ask - they are aware of what their employees are saying and constantly ask for feedback, which they then actually implement. -Great benefits that they want you to use and good compensation. Plenty of fun off-site events to keep things light. -Hiring based on traits instead of experience/education brings in a lot of different perspectives and styles - lots of people to learn from here. -They encourage you to connect to clients in so many ways and the clients are sometimes pretty awesome people - great networking and some of the clients are doing things that really make an impact.

Cons

-Success seems to be a luck of the draw situation based on your manager, territory alignment, and/or sales team. -Metrics with sales and service partners are contradictory and that can cause tensions between business units. -It's a LOT of work and it can be challenging. Nobody will straight up ask you to work extra hours (except in rare situations), but most of the top performers seem to anyways just to stay on top of things. Sometimes what you have to do to succeed isn't explicitly stated. -Change is a huge part of Gartner. Changes in processes and staffing happen weekly and it can be confusing and inconsistent.

Challenging but rewarding

Pros

Excellent facilities and benefits, really intelligent coworkers, and the opportunity to work with incredible clients. It is no doubt challenging, and if you don't manage your time well you will work a lot. Done right, though, it's great. I'm never bored and it's exciting (as someone relatively early in their career) to provide advisory services to executives. At least a couple times a week I hear from a client how much my job means to them and makes a difference.

Cons

As mentioned in the pros, the workload is tough. If you have a full territory, you'll be on the phone with 4-6 members a day which is no small feat considering all the prep and follow up work required outside of the calls themselves. Definitely metrics over mission, which can be tough to get other internal partners (read: sales) to understand when our metrics are so different (and often opposite from them).

Pros

-Work with some amazing Clients and internal partners -Great company benefits -Opportunities with some territory to travel

Cons

-Management does NOT have a mission over metrics mindset- they only care about metrics, get clients engaged every 120 days that's it -It is possible to lie about your numbers & people do it, while management turns a blind eye - All depends on your territory and manager
