Pros

You work with really smart people and for the most part people really care about the quality of their work. Gartner influences billions of dollars in enterprise IT spend and because of this, you have access to the senior leadership of some of the best companies in the world. Overall, it is a positive environment.

Cons

As an AE, you have very few accounts and the preformance, size and industry of those accounts is not taken into consideration when your quota is set. Quotas do not seem to be based upon any sort of analsys of territories.

Pros

Good benefits and work from home schedule

Cons

Gartner has lost much of what once made it a great place to work. The culture has become increasingly focused on micromanagement, with excessive oversight and an overwhelming number of metrics driving day-to-day activities. Employees are often measured on quantity rather than quality, creating unnecessary pressure and reducing job satisfaction. What was once an engaging and collaborative environment no longer feels enjoyable. Morale has declined as leadership places more emphasis on tracking performance than supporting employees. Staff are frequently treated as numbers rather than valued contributors, leading to frustration and disengagement. Overall, the company has lost its luster. Unless significant changes are made to improve employee experience, reduce micromanagement, and foster a more supportive culture, it will continue to struggle with retention and employee satisfaction.!
