Pros

Industry leader, Good training program if you can make it through, Pay is good if you make your numbers. Great contacts, great analyst community involvement.

Cons

Gartner is a great place to work for those without a lot of sales experience. Training is very good, but way too rigid ( "my way or the highway"). Blitz days are a pain in the rear. As a sales person I felt I was always looking behind my back for the "grim reaper"...it's a sense of being watched and tracked. Way too much management by metrics. It is a very hard place to relax and do your job.

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.
