Pros

Work life balance Good progression opportunities if you have no independent thoughts and are a white male

Cons

Don't pay benefits that are worth anything, they wonder why everyone goes to salesforce after 2 years. Yes, a company with >$4b revenue in tech that doesn't even pay for insurance for their people. Bare minimum in materinity leave benefits. Anything to avoid looking after their people or paying a dime. No money for reps who were forced to work from home for a home office setup, still advising their clients to do this. Don't pay any expenses currently. Haven't since March last year. Greedy and don't pay their employees correctly, this comes as a top performer. Have $1b free cashflow according to quarterly report that is public, chase their sales rep for thousands when Gartner decides someone should no longer be a client. Can't expense a cab to a meeting, have to pay for it yourself due to "covid risk" - complete farce. Regardless of the situation, client or employee, Gartner ALWAYS comes first. Never the customer.

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

Terrific coworkers. Nearly everyone at the company is pleasant, professional, and willing to help you even if you’ve never met them before. Hybrid work environment. People generally seem to care about you on an individual level. One of the best corporations I’ve worked for.

Cons

Gartner is not in a great place right now. The business model requires changes and Wall Street analysts have tremendous doubts about the corporate liability in the era of AI. Stock has fallen in half over the past two years. Massive layoffs across the company. Doubt the stability is there for any kind of medium term or long-term career. Below market compensation, offset by pros above when they exist.
