Pros

Awesome benefits that start from day 1. Good long term opportunities. Young culture. Experience working with C-level executives. Good starting salary as well

Cons

This jobs tough. A lot of it is luck and what territory you walk into after training. Also, your entire experience depends on your manager, but you have no clue who will be your assigned manager until after you finish the 2 month training. A lot of office politics. Lots of growing pains, since Gartner is wanting to rapidly grow. Territories shrink but quotas remain the same/grow...with less opportunity per account executive. Unrealistic metrics.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
