Pros

The people are great to work with.

Cons

At Evanta a gartner company in Q4 of 2021 they have not asked for proof of vaccines for Employees to attend events across the country of 50-100 people (which they fly to) or to be in the office. A manager knowingly traveled to an event while feeling sick and ended up with covid and passed it to other employees. And exposed countless other employees and attendees. No punishment. No attendees have been notified.

Pros

The access you get to COIs because you are not viewed as a vendor is brilliant and you are surrounded by experts internally, soak up the training. If you are young and want to enhance your CV then great but outisde of that they are way better opporutnites and $$$$ to be earned elsewhere.

Cons

The one true criticism of Gartner is that it only promotes from within. After a few years as a successful sales person it is easy to become a manger. However we all know, the best sales people often make the worst managers. In the real world most Gartner managers would never get a management role, therefore the levels of narcissism to protect themselves is staggering. If you are doing well as a sales person then great but the second you start to average out, or fail slightly expect knives thrown at you. Gartner is a machine run by a robot in Gene Hall, no one can change anything. They are savage is how they get rid of people.

Pros

-Stability. Gartner's response to the pandemic was pretty good compared to other companies. Provided employees with a payback on 401k matching and gave a couple one time bonuses. -Benefits. Good amount of PTO that you are encouraged to take without a guilt trip. -Opportunity to work with CIO/CISO/CDO/CHROs and build your network

Cons

-Room for growth only for those who are willing to play the game and "drink the koolaid." No clear career pathing. -Management at every level is unqualified, undertrained and will throw reports under the bus. There is a huge disconnect between what the individual contributors want/need to be successful and what the management think they need. Held a "listening tour" and ignored the feedback. -Company is mostly new employees now because the tenured people have left because of the lack of change -Lack of culture -Lack of transparency
