Pros

1. Great place to work for those who have a strong background in technology and want to build a career in technology strategy 2. New York city engagements have excellent work-life balance and is headed by an excellent managing partner

Cons

1. Training and mentoring for graduates are pretty much non-existent.. There is a formal program but it serves no purpose... 2. A new recruit could be in 2 to 4 engagements at the same time. 3. Within go-to-market practice, face time with the team or the client could be non-existent or minimal. For ex: Sr consultants on many occasions work on engagements without ever going to the client site nor meeting in person either the client personnel or members of Gartner team on that particular engagement

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.
