Gartner reviews

- There is no culture or career path. You have to fend and fight for yourself. It takes considerable effort to do so and you are not encouraged or supported in that effort. - Depending on who you work with, the experience is extremely inconsistent. Some managing partners and engagement managers are great. Others are extremely poor. There is no effort to create standards of what "good" looks like. There are no project reviews after an engagement is over and there is no effort to improve the next time around. Many projects are undersold and overpromised. - Leadership is lacking in people management skills - Very slow to promote (2 year cycle is the fastest) and difficult to move past the Director level. There is no real career path. You have to carve out a niche for yourself and find people to align with. Most Directors and above are hired in from the outside. - The worst part is that the people who have been there a while and those that are in management positions either don't care or they are resigned to the status quo and don't believe anything can be done. Everyone else leaves.

targets are unreachable as they limit the prospects you're allowed to speak to, no management support, all bad things are deflected to the US, built on hopes and dreams not deliverables.
