Pros

Gartner is an incredible company to work for. They truly care about their clients and treat their employees with dignity and respect. In all aspects they are a top-notched IT research organization and I could not have made a more perfect career choice.

Cons

I have no complaints and do not expect any in the future.

Pros

Company: -Market leader and well respected -Great culture & collaboration -Incredibly smart people work here JOB: -pay per performance. good bonuses and commission once you made your number -opportunity for learning, growing and being promoted -High paced and growing channel -good training

Cons

Company: - will the growth be infinite? are Gartner's services and market approach still optimal in 2012? - every year growth targets get bigger -employee turnover in some departments Job: - every year growth targets get bigger, client retention is only stable at best. - base and OTE salary are below average - lots of growth leads to lots of promotions. because of this, some of them are questionable - disparity in territory & quotas between teams and sales people within the same team. no fixed rule, it comes down to the Area Manager's preference
