Management needs to treat associates more fairly and teach by example

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Work - Life Balance. For those in the technology field - good opportunity to pick up skills with different technologies. Access to Gartner research and analysts a positive perk, though it can also be a double-edged sword (those who have worked with analysts know what I'm talking about).

Cons

Hard to get noticed. Rewards and recognition many times affected by politics and relationships and not necessarily on the quality of one's work. Many "siloed" groups that don't interact well with each other, with management tacitly supporting this model by not actively encouraging more cooperation, particularly through example. Managers tend to be very territorial, and that attitude is passed down to subordinates.

Pros

People are smart, generally helpful and nice. Overall, my experience there was a good one. I had exposure to a good cross section of the company and was able to interact with people in research, sales, IT, events, and senior management.

Cons

In the past, there was a considerable amount of management turn over. I think this has slowed down a bit in the last year or two though.
