Pros

-some of the people are excellent, particularly from the legacy CEB team -access to executives

Cons

-there are some good managers but the vast majority were promoted from IC roles with zero experience or support and have no idea how to manage teams effectively -everyone is a number and if you happen to be placed with a not so great territory or have a tricky first year in a new territory, managers will find a way to get you off their team; if you get unlucky with a bad manager your support network will be nonexistent -the undue stress caused by certain managers (whose only responsibility is to micromanage you to a number) is dangerous and psychologically damaging, I was degraded by my last manager at Gartner and his manager and HR simply did not care -diversity was not taken seriously at the time that I left the company -I strongly recommend considering any other job opportunity that you may have available to you.

Pros

Literally a few but not worth the mental health damage that you'll get -Best sales training out there i'm pretty sure, you will be taught to sell pretty much anything in IT world and overcome objections -Great experience for right out of college - you are given a lot of responsibility and work closely with leaders (a type of job that usually requires a lot of years of experience)

Cons

-Underpaid -Impossible commission -All based on luck and your book of business -most management is AWFUL: micromanaging, fakeness, backstabbing - you can not trust anyone and I mean anyone (some do get lucky with a good manager but they are very rare) -you will feel like you're in high school trying to fit in -literally not enough territory making prospecting very hard -some of these startups don't have money for Gartner but you will be forced to push and sell -not enough time in the week to finish all of the work you have to do -too many responsibilities for one role and not enough pay: pretty much doing inside sales, customer success and account expansion (which is usually 3 different jobs in a company) -impossible to get promoted

Pros

-High quality research -Strong brand reputation

Cons

-Sales management lacks experience and leadership. -Toxic culture of favoritism and suffocating micro-management. -Leadership is blind to the challenges facing the business and unwilling to solicit and understand feedback from clients and employees. -The culture and go-to-market approach is the opposite of "customer first" -Disjointed and outdated sales technology and processes make simple tasks difficult and time consuming. (Much of the business is managed on spreadsheets).
