      Experienced Sales Professionals Beware

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good company to learn from for recent college grad or a salesperson with 0-3 years relevant experience.

      Cons

      - No consistency in territory planning. AE's are stack ranked as if they have the same type of territory which is very untrue. This drastically affects the compensation, morale, and promotion track for those who are working hard in a difficult territory of one-year deals that were sold a intangible dream that Gartner could never help them to achieve, whereas those in a territory filled with multi-year deals, are seen as "top performers" although they had nothing to do with their own "success" and often have no true skill. - Area Managers are often those who were "top performers", but lack true management skills, real life business and sales experience, and often-times even common sense. - End of Quarter work life balance - this channel expects sales people to stay until mid-night on quarter closes with no additional compensation and no regard to family or personal obligations.

      Pros

      Defined playbook, lots of middle management to work with, good place if you want to be told specifically how to do your job and enjoy micromanagement

      Cons

      Does not respect new ideas or out of the box thinkers, middle managers are not leaders but box checkers, does not put client first

      Gartner Leadership Partner Position Service Delivery Focus Failure

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Comprehensive interview process that identifies highly qualified candidates. Research and research analysts that at times can be insightful and useful to Gartner's customer base. A reputation that from the outside suggests service delivery competence and research effectiveness for it's customer base.

      Cons

      For experienced and qualified professionals who value their ability to delivery advisory services quality and client value through their professional experiences, qualifications and accomplishments, this job was a disappointment. The company places a priority on sales, sales support expertise and sales performance with nominal value being placed on service delivery quality for clients. The micro management and front line supervision focus that senior personnel recruited for Leadership Partner positions receive from Gartner is at times demeaning and demoralizing. If you are a senior executive who values your career accomplishments, expertise and experiences gained through a successful career in either consulting, advisory services and / or IT operations management you should reconsider taking a position with Gartner. Your priority will be sales or sales support, not service delivery quality.
