Pros

Gartner is a great place for a professional, experienced account executive/business developer to work and make a lot of money. You need to have refined sales abilities to succeed here as you will be dealing with C-level executives and selling a product/solution that is truly in the eye of the beholder (no speeds or feeds).

Cons

They drive their sales people pretty hard in general. That is not to say they are unfair or unclear about their expectations. It is just that the expectations are high. You are expected to have at least 8 face-to-face client meetings every week, no matter what, as an example.

Pros

Terrific coworkers. Nearly everyone at the company is pleasant, professional, and willing to help you even if you’ve never met them before. Hybrid work environment. People generally seem to care about you on an individual level. One of the best corporations I’ve worked for.

Cons

Gartner is not in a great place right now. The business model requires changes and Wall Street analysts have tremendous doubts about the corporate liability in the era of AI. Stock has fallen in half over the past two years. Massive layoffs across the company. Doubt the stability is there for any kind of medium term or long-term career. Below market compensation, offset by pros above when they exist.
