Pros
Good for opening doors for other roles - ex-Gartner still holds weight in the market. Was thrown in at the deep end when it came to starting a sales career, so learnt a lot very quickly.
Cons
To put it bluntly, Gartner’s midsize sales team environment in EMEA treated me so poorly that I seriously thought about taking my own life at one point. And I am not the only one. They retain leaders for decades despite some of the worst leadership skills I’ve ever witnessed - and because of their tenure, they are seen as untouchable. Completely awful and out of touch - if you are still at Gartner after a few years, leave. Do yourself, your career, and most importantly your mental well-being a favour. Please.
