Pros

- Flexible work hours - Intellectually stimulating - always on the cutting edge of technology

Cons

The quality of management varies from superb to incompetent. This used to be a fun and rewarding place to work. But during the past two years, there has been a steep decline in collegiality among employees. Management now encourages adversarial relations among team members. The overall atmosphere has become toxic. "Employee morale" has disappeared from the dictionary. Common sense has left the building. Rather, there is a slavish adherence to obscure metrics. Managements scouts out every opportunity to denigrate individual performance. Expectations change weekly. Widespread layoffs of senior staff. Management pretends they have no visibility.

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

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.
