Pros

Great training, they make sure you're ready to hit the ground running. Reputable company which makes for a great first full time position on the resume.

Cons

Culture, which is a major bragging point for Gartner is quickly festering into a toxic work environment. Pay discrepancy success, and overall happiness in the role is totally dependent on which function (finance, hr, risk, gov) and you have no control in where you are placed. This leads to people in easier jobs getting paid more and getting more recognition for simply sending out generic emails a few times a week.

Work life balance, though in late 2026 will be required to go back to office. Full autonomy for your own schedule.

Absolutely no path for growth.

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.
