Pros

You'll learn a lot about technology. Exposure to different industries. Business acumen. Speaking with VP and C-level. The sales process they teach is decent.

Cons

The midsize enterprise (SMB) channel has no integrity. Gartner will take money out of your pocket with no warning (wild right) and then act like nothing happened. If you're making them money, you can easily get away doing almost anything illegal and unethical (it's actually encouraged) & management will be the first to turn a blind eye - you'll probably get promoted and recognized for doing it! They know you're expendable so no one really cares about your personal/ career development. They hire children into management who have no track record of success (entertaining at how bad it is). The "product" is typically never a value-added solution, does not have an ROI, and as sales people you are given absolutely no tools except Outlook and Excel, so good luck. The management (minus a few) have absolutely no idea what's going on and will place the blame anywhere but themselves. Stay away from this company or at least the midsize channel.

Pros

Good benefits and work from home schedule

Cons

Gartner has lost much of what once made it a great place to work. The culture has become increasingly focused on micromanagement, with excessive oversight and an overwhelming number of metrics driving day-to-day activities. Employees are often measured on quantity rather than quality, creating unnecessary pressure and reducing job satisfaction. What was once an engaging and collaborative environment no longer feels enjoyable. Morale has declined as leadership places more emphasis on tracking performance than supporting employees. Staff are frequently treated as numbers rather than valued contributors, leading to frustration and disengagement. Overall, the company has lost its luster. Unless significant changes are made to improve employee experience, reduce micromanagement, and foster a more supportive culture, it will continue to struggle with retention and employee satisfaction.!
