A quality company that cares about their employees.

Pros

This company has great benefits, especially since Software Advice was acquired from Gartner. This includes a matching 401k program, comprehensive medical benefits and high salary options. The people on the marketing team are very intelligent and are execution oriented. If you are looking to learn about digital communications and SEO this is place for you. There aren't many companies out there doing a better job. The management are great and really want the best for you. It is worth noting that this job is not a good place for someone who doesn't enjoy working hard in an intense/deadline orientated environment.

Cons

I think the company continues to advance and make this a really enjoyable place to work. Not many CONS in my opinion.

Pros

The people at Gartner are very clever, interesting and mostly fun. The high achievement culture means that retaining and attracting the best is a given.

Cons

Most promotions are internal , which means that middle management is not always best in class. There is no place for failure here and memories can be short.
