Gartner reviews

1. Extremely political 2. Culture is inconsistent: there is no development, no mentorship, concerns are not listened to or easily forgotten. Most of the meetings re “employee wellbeing” are held for a checkmark only. You are just a number or a value-generating asset who should stay silent or otherwise will be coached out. 3. Your manager is everything and his perspective is decisive even if other stakeholders think differently (as HR once told me “managers are here to judge you and your work”). I always thought that a good manager is a manager who cares about her team but apparently at Gartner the people management is always a one-way street. 4. Exposure should be deserved. It’s completely ridiculous but that’s the message. 5. Layoffs are real and fast if economy shows any negative trends. 6. Some of the management (Mid -Senior level) is extremely arrogant and doesn’t hide this attitude 7. Company is very frugal. No perks for those who like them. 8. Benefits are ok, but def not that great as they advertise it - cannot be even compared with good Tech or top Consulting. 9. Salaries are below the market.

The Fort Myers office is very toxic. Your success is determined on your book of business and your manager. If your manager does not like you- better start looking for a new job. Management is promoted on previous years success (which means they were handed a good book of business and made it to winners circle). None of the managers are hired on leadership skills. Upper management (VP level) harasses and bullies people to leave the company. They will put you on a “plan” with unrealistic metrics and no support to help you improve. They will make you feel like you will never be good enough. I honestly never felt as low in my life as I did for working for this company. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT WORK HERE!
