Pros

Decent brand to have on your CV if you get to survive more than a year

Cons

Where to start? Terrible company culture, zero room for you to be yourself. You’ll have to follow their best practices even when you go to the bathroom. Your success only depends on how lucky you are with your territory and manager. You’ll be treated like huge failure if you dont close deals as quick and well as some other peers do. Zero flexibility, work from home is seen like treachery, guys have to wear a suit with 40 degrees outside and in a REGUS building. Insane turnover and number of unhappy employees. Many of the positive reviews come from people in the academy or individuals that want to go for a management position (HR and RVP ask them to post a positive review) If you want to save on therapy, look for another company.

Pros

Good benefits and work from home schedule

Cons

Gartner has lost much of what once made it a great place to work. The culture has become increasingly focused on micromanagement, with excessive oversight and an overwhelming number of metrics driving day-to-day activities. Employees are often measured on quantity rather than quality, creating unnecessary pressure and reducing job satisfaction. What was once an engaging and collaborative environment no longer feels enjoyable. Morale has declined as leadership places more emphasis on tracking performance than supporting employees. Staff are frequently treated as numbers rather than valued contributors, leading to frustration and disengagement. Overall, the company has lost its luster. Unless significant changes are made to improve employee experience, reduce micromanagement, and foster a more supportive culture, it will continue to struggle with retention and employee satisfaction.!
