Pros

Great Benefits In office Lunch You may meet some great people but leadership is The "Gartner name"

Cons

Since starting at Gartner I quickly realized that they inclusivity that they promote was a complete marketing lie and a check box to say they are inclusive and collaborative but it is the complete opposite. If you speak up about the demeaning leadership you will be pushed out and given very obvious cold shoulders. You will be put on a pip and no matter how hard you work they will threaten to fire you. Top performer - it doesnt matter because you dont fit the catty culture. They say that the SDP program is for people with non-traditional backgrounds- That is a lie. They will literally set you up to fail and blame you for it!!! They will make it impossible to be promoted and HR is Bias because they are all friends. It will be nearly impossible to get ahead here especially if you are not white!!

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

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.
