Pros

Gartner is a great company to work for. I encourage people to seek any roles OUTSIDE of the Client Partner Group in Fort Myers, FL. Gartner offers great benefits, including generous PTO.They are the industry standard for advisor firms and a great name to have on your resume even if you do not stay there forever. This is a good role for someone just out of college looking to get a good name on their resume.

Cons

The Client Partner Group is a very political group in the Fort Myers office and is the red-headed child of sales. The group has a very high rate of turnover, aloof senior leadership, and only hires female minions as managers. They make it VERY difficult to be promoted within the group or to another business unit. In particular, the HTTP region of the group has a bully VP who favors some of his employees while intimidating others. Financial success in the Client Partner Group is very limited- DO NOT trust what the recruiters say. Client Partner are only aligned to commission of some of the products clients have. This is not a job for anyone who is looking for career or financial growth.

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

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
