Pros

Free lunch, loads of training materials and only have to go one once a week

Cons

Reps (BDs or AEs as Gartner calls them) are allowed to shout and bully you and its your fault for not 'building TBVA (trust-based value-add relationships). So much unnecessary jargon (American HQ) and they hire literally the same type of person every time so it's not a very inclusive environment if you're not a 5'8ft straight white man. Also no one in SDP seems to get hired anymore, even the top performers, everyone else just seems to leave

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.
