Pros

-some of the people are excellent, particularly from the legacy CEB team -access to executives

Cons

-there are some good managers but the vast majority were promoted from IC roles with zero experience or support and have no idea how to manage teams effectively -everyone is a number and if you happen to be placed with a not so great territory or have a tricky first year in a new territory, managers will find a way to get you off their team; if you get unlucky with a bad manager your support network will be nonexistent -the undue stress caused by certain managers (whose only responsibility is to micromanage you to a number) is dangerous and psychologically damaging, I was degraded by my last manager at Gartner and his manager and HR simply did not care -diversity was not taken seriously at the time that I left the company -I strongly recommend considering any other job opportunity that you may have available to you.

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.
