Pros

Solid pay. Great benefits - good healthcare, generous PTO. Many smart, driven and capable colleagues. Great remote work infrastructure. Many resources available - creative support, quantitative survey support, admin support. Company is consistently looking to improve their ways of doing business instead of staying stagnant. Great opportunity to get exposure to business management issues and to interview executives from top companies. Opportunities to move laterally to different parts of organization.

Cons

Limited opportunities to get promoted due to caps on promotions. Competitive work culture pits employees against each other. Many employees are pressured to work ridiculous hours. Senior management only keeps increasing expectations instead of addressing workload and burnout issues. Several toxic managers are protected by the company. Lots of toxic positivity. If you try to raise concerns, you are not seen as a team player.

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
