Pros

This company is very good at recruiting extremely great people, especially in Research and Executive Programs. This is a very stimulating environment to learn and grow. The brand is great and customers can really find extremely valuable insights if they work properly with Gartner.

Cons

Middle management is by comparison very poor and the leadership lacks strategic vision. Gartner is far better to explain what digital means to their customer than trying to think strategically about what it means for themselves. The management is product (and not service) oriented and more focused on internal metrics than on customer experience.

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.
