Pros

Pays well, smart people, cool job, good location, good benefits, takes some time to adjust to the insular culture, but otherwise pretty fun

Cons

Can be very political at times, seem to be living in the past. A lot of the old analysts have huge egos and can be real jurks to new people

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.!
