Gartner reviews

If there is one organization that dis*ts me it has to be Gartner. Every Sales driven organization is aggressive, competitive and crude when it comes to performance no denial in that. But Gartner India is decomp* internally to the core. Compensation & Benefits- If you manage to close business by taking your prospects for a ride with no concrete product or service, you will make money. Work/Life Balance- Highly Male chauvinist driven culture. Go and speak to few current employees they would tell you the tale of work life balance. Senior Management- Their last India H* was fired in a weeks’ time after spending 8 years in Gartner due to his excellent people management skills. I wonder why did they wait for 8 years. Last but not the least 60% of their current sales force have floated their CV in the market, don't believe me, ask any staffing company which does sales professional hunting.

Managers shape your career. The India MSE team at Gartner, they can destroy it. Gartner India MSE team is nothing short of demons dressed as humans. The managers on that floor are very incompetent, soulless people to ever encounter. Not an ounce of empathy or leadership in them. The entitlement is unbelievable, as if their families own the company and they’re personally paying salaries. The moment you step onto that floor, you feel your soul drain, because that’s exactly what they hunt for: soulless humans who can be controlled. And if you still have one, they’ll make sure to rip it out of you through their so-called “Plan for Success” — which in reality is the exact opposite. 10–15 people have resigned in just the past couple of months, because the environment is deliberately made hostile. Imagine going through a Harvard-level interview process, only to work for such incompetent, ego-driven, insecure managers who leave no opportunity to demean you, crush your confidence, and treat you like dirt. They set unrealistic targets, misalign roles and responsibilities, and then corner you into resignation. If you don’t leave, they’ll put you on PIP or their infamous “Plan for Success” — which is really just a silent layoff strategy. Yes, Gartner doesn’t “officially” lay off, but what they do is far darker: silent layoffs, so they don’t have to pay severance. This place is coated in gold on the outside, but inside it’s pure rot. My only advice: run as far and as fast as you can.
