Pros

Good training, smart people, great products, decent pay if you are able to meet objectives

Cons

not the caliber of management one would expect considering how exclusive Gartner is about who they hire. Very few people are hired from outside the company into leadership roles, which perpetuates a culture that is robotic. More of a cult than a culture. The sales model is based on GEO within an account - therefore there could be multiple sales people calling into a client, often after the same budget money. This promotes bad behavior and tremendous channel conflict. Selling to the client is not nearly as hard as navigating the sales model. It is commonplace for one sales person to have a "win" and another rep take a loss at renewal. Gartner is constantly hiring - not because of growth opportunity, because of attrition.

Pros

Nothing good to work in India. If you get a job abroad,take it. The training is what you can look fwd to.

Cons

High headed senior management, immature managers and partiality is what you get. It's sad to see the immature attitude of the senior management wasting good talent and ruining their careers to save themselves.

Pros

-Culture is great... laid back and a lot of likeminded individuals -Training program sets a good foundation for sales aspiring individuals coming out of college -Exposure to a lot of different businesses and allows you to learn at an MBA level in some cases

Cons

-Management on HT has severely decreased... Young VPs that don't know anything outside their Gartner bubble and aren't ready to be in leadership -It has severely become a boiler room... all about the NCVI and less about actually driving value... High pressure sales that ruins relationships to get to that golden number -Politics is absolutely terrible... If you join the org just politic with the MVP and you'll be sure to get that promotion. Inappropriate rumors and a corresponding promotion make it very very fishy and everyone knows. -THE GARTNER KOOLAID. Don't talk bad about anything cause there will always be a follower who thinks Gartner is the end all be all in everything. It's a company with a poor value prop on HT but the koolaid creates sheep.
