Pros

There is quite a bit of loyalty amongst the more tenured, older employees. Quite a few people over 50. Lots of "support" in the terms of meetings, but not a lot of direction.

Cons

There definitely seems to be a lot of former Gartner employees along with their former colleagues. Pay and benefits are not great.

Pros

If you're not on a project, the work life balance is solid. The company culture (at least within my practice) is cold, so if you'd prefer distance from coworkers, this would be suitable for you. All of the clients we work with have been very collaborative and friendly, so that's a plus.

Cons

The expectations at this company were very confusing. While it's expected that each manager and above is slightly different, the range of experiences I encountered varied significantly, from micromanagers to extremely hands off. I found the general communication towards junior staff to be condescending, not collaborative at all. There's also no room for development. No coaching or advice at all. I think it's the personalities at the company. They don't seem to care about mentorship, which is unfortunate. It feels like they hire you as a number to get a project done. There are so many improvements that could be made but feedback doesn't get implemented.
