Pros

Analysts are great. Not too much else.

Cons

Can get all the same info online. They do research but no testing. Lack of good leadership. Employees are just numbers....clients mean nothing to Gartner. It is all about the sales Process and metrics. If you do the process management believes clients will buy. Hey Gene...if there is no value, people won't buy or if they want to allocate dollars elsewhere, they won't buy. Riding the brand too long. Pay not worth the angst. Middle Management has no people training. Theycan be terrible to their people. Always watch your back.

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

Pros

Terrific coworkers. Nearly everyone at the company is pleasant, professional, and willing to help you even if you’ve never met them before. Hybrid work environment. People generally seem to care about you on an individual level. One of the best corporations I’ve worked for.

Cons

Gartner is not in a great place right now. The business model requires changes and Wall Street analysts have tremendous doubts about the corporate liability in the era of AI. Stock has fallen in half over the past two years. Massive layoffs across the company. Doubt the stability is there for any kind of medium term or long-term career. Below market compensation, offset by pros above when they exist.
