Pros

Well-respected industry leader. Great to have Gartner logo on your resume. Lots of resources to help you grow as a sales professional and to help win deals. Ability to work with incredibly talented people and build your business and tech acumen. Research content is incredible. Be careful of glowing 5-star reviews written by new hires (encouraged by HR and management).

Cons

Decent pay but overall it is below average for tech sales, which is a major reason sales talent leave after 1-2 years, along with sales reps being burnt out. Much of your success here is dependent on your sales leadership and territory. Many clients have been with Gartner for several years and you will be one of many AEs who will try to upsell them. Too much attention is paid to promoting top performers into leadership roles, when the two do not equal mutual success. At the end of the day it's sales so your performance is tied directly to your ability to sell. Expectation is you hit Winner's Circle within your first two years or you're fired.

Pros

Solid pay. Great benefits - good healthcare, generous PTO. Many smart, driven and capable colleagues. Great remote work infrastructure. Many resources available - creative support, quantitative survey support, admin support. Company is consistently looking to improve their ways of doing business instead of staying stagnant. Great opportunity to get exposure to business management issues and to interview executives from top companies. Opportunities to move laterally to different parts of organization.

Cons

Limited opportunities to get promoted due to caps on promotions. Competitive work culture pits employees against each other. Many employees are pressured to work ridiculous hours. Senior management only keeps increasing expectations instead of addressing workload and burnout issues. Several toxic managers are protected by the company. Lots of toxic positivity. If you try to raise concerns, you are not seen as a team player.

Pros

I joined only some weeks ago. I am unable to see pros till now.

Cons

Everybody here is overworked there is no work life balance. I am not getting time to learn. Daily I am given 10-12 hours of work. Team leads and manager enjoy allocating work every morning and enjoy full day.
