Pros

Gartner is a great company to work for. I encourage people to seek any roles OUTSIDE of the Client Partner Group in Fort Myers, FL. Gartner offers great benefits, including generous PTO.They are the industry standard for advisor firms and a great name to have on your resume even if you do not stay there forever. This is a good role for someone just out of college looking to get a good name on their resume.

Cons

The Client Partner Group is a very political group in the Fort Myers office and is the red-headed child of sales. The group has a very high rate of turnover, aloof senior leadership, and only hires female minions as managers. They make it VERY difficult to be promoted within the group or to another business unit. In particular, the HTTP region of the group has a bully VP who favors some of his employees while intimidating others. Financial success in the Client Partner Group is very limited- DO NOT trust what the recruiters say. Client Partner are only aligned to commission of some of the products clients have. This is not a job for anyone who is looking for career or financial growth.

Pros

You'll learn a tremendous amount about all aspects of IT. The analysts are terrific. The sales people are mostly professional and motivated. The staff across the company is great. Management...? See cons.

Cons

The robotic CEO and his C-level staff are all about metrics, many of which do not measure what is important to getting the job done or bringing sustainable growth to the company. Employee engagement is completely unimportant to the leader and his groupthink squad. Top analysts and sales pros are fleeing, and the CEO clearly feels that's fine: replace them with less-experienced people. It's all about the bureaucracy at Gartner (which is unwieldy as hell, by the way!). The culture feels more like the DMV than a profit-driven company. With only about 5,000 employees globally, that's just odd: I've seen plenty of companies with ten times that number of employees operate more smoothly than this.
