Pros

Decent base pay and excellent benefits. Great brand recognition. Opens doors at the top of the organization

Cons

Intense micromanagement. Had tremendous growth and achieved winners circle. Next year was flat and micromanagement and weekly inspection started. 50% of my team peers were either pushed out or quit when I started. Four years later 75% of peers left when I finally had enough. Key is to find another position after having a good performing year. Revolving door for account executives

Pros

Truly the best product on the market, a successful Account Executive has the ability to make a lot of money.

Cons

Poor leadership, bullying and emotional managers, and extreme micromanagement have led to an ongoing revolving door of Account Executives. Clients are put last.

Pros

-Initially great training -Great opportunity to master C Suite conversations -When a Client is engaged the conversations can be very fulfilling -Not bad base salary ( but not great either) -If you get a good patch with a client that likes Gartner, Can be amazing.

Cons

-Gartner only promotes from within which is both commendable but also leads to little variety in management style -Outdated sales methodology and metrics -Losses are never talked about or lessons learnt from them. -Reduction in territory sizes and generally terrible prospect accounts for AE. lots of rehashing of accounts to the unlucky new hires. -Amazing amount of churn which is never recognised as an issue. -Very little meaningful coaching from AM's. deal reviews and box ticking exercises mainly -Lots of internal meetings that are repetitive -need to be near Egham to progress
