Pros

Large company often hiring for other positions, opportunities to relocate but without compensation. Arlington office has nice views and good food nearby. Moderate work life balance (though hostile toward working from home)

Cons

The least ethical company I have ever worked for. Regularly retaliated against employees for raising concerns, hired people for positions without telling them it wouldn’t exist in a few months, or hired people for one position then put them in another, and constant focus on hitting metrics regardless of outcomes for customers (which encouraged faking numbers to survive). Employee retention in the client service space was certainly less than 50% per year, nobody could stand to work there. It was well known that the floor’s wellness room was primarily used for people to cry in. Truly a horrible company, and one I wouldn’t even recommend to someone desperate for employment. If you value your mental health or human decency, look elsewhere.

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

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.
