Pros

Evidence-based research provides sound foundation for objective insights, benchmarking for use in business when you leave Gartner, which will likely be in one year or less. Look left, look right, 90% of your team will be gone within the next several months. Just relocated? I know, it's awful they did this to you, It's okay, start applying for other jobs immediately! Plan B, you owe it to yourself; you are amazing! You have skills transferable. Also, for sanity, join Toastmasters on your lunch breaks, it will help you increase your self confidence, when management and training kicks you down. Huddle together with the GOOD, noncorrupt new talented people you find, and help eachother with resumes, job references, and applications, that is what our team did! You are in this together! You are not alone, also use EAP, you will need it. Counseling, lots of counseling after this traumatic experience.

Cons

Inexperienced management, HR turns blind eye to coaching by fear, favoritism, bullying, toxic culture Not for professionals, for college graduates looking to learn how to golf in the hallways, and play pingpong Not for innovators or those with new ideas, a piece of yourself floats away every day you stay, do yourself a favor, and do NOT accept the offer, take time to look into a company that has a positive workplace culture and cares about their employees. The numerous interviews should be a warning sign already!

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.
