Growth- and Metric-Driven Only

Pros

Gartner knows how to grow a company. Some really supportive and intelligent people work here, which shouldn't be taken for granted.

Cons

Gartner has acquired many companies, and as the acquirer, its company culture dominates (which I recognize would be true in any M&A scenario). Gartner is very process-oriented and has little emphasis on its people. For being a mid-sized company, it lacks humanity.

Lost its focus on people

Pros

Smart people Very good business model Interesting problems to solve Focused CEO

Cons

Other than CEO there is not much experience in senior management leading a company of Gartner’s current size. There is not much diversity at the most senior leadership levels especially in IT. This is not representative of the rest of the Gartner population. Not as people-focused as it once was.

Challenging but rewarding

Pros

Excellent facilities and benefits, really intelligent coworkers, and the opportunity to work with incredible clients. It is no doubt challenging, and if you don't manage your time well you will work a lot. Done right, though, it's great. I'm never bored and it's exciting (as someone relatively early in their career) to provide advisory services to executives. At least a couple times a week I hear from a client how much my job means to them and makes a difference.

Cons

As mentioned in the pros, the workload is tough. If you have a full territory, you'll be on the phone with 4-6 members a day which is no small feat considering all the prep and follow up work required outside of the calls themselves. Definitely metrics over mission, which can be tough to get other internal partners (read: sales) to understand when our metrics are so different (and often opposite from them).
