Pros

-Culture is great... laid back and a lot of likeminded individuals -Training program sets a good foundation for sales aspiring individuals coming out of college -Exposure to a lot of different businesses and allows you to learn at an MBA level in some cases

Cons

-Management on HT has severely decreased... Young VPs that don't know anything outside their Gartner bubble and aren't ready to be in leadership -It has severely become a boiler room... all about the NCVI and less about actually driving value... High pressure sales that ruins relationships to get to that golden number -Politics is absolutely terrible... If you join the org just politic with the MVP and you'll be sure to get that promotion. Inappropriate rumors and a corresponding promotion make it very very fishy and everyone knows. -THE GARTNER KOOLAID. Don't talk bad about anything cause there will always be a follower who thinks Gartner is the end all be all in everything. It's a company with a poor value prop on HT but the koolaid creates sheep.

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.
