Pros

Flexible PTO hours, health benefits, 401k and stock options.

Cons

After more than six years with Gartner, I have observed a concerning shift in the company’s trajectory. The recent two years have been characterized by frequent restructuring and layoffs that often seem handled with little transparency or regard for employee tenure. Notably, there appears to be a lack of protection for those on paid family leave, and the execution of these departures is often so abrupt that even direct managers are left out of the loop. It feels as though the current strategy prioritizes short-term cost-saving and lower-cost hiring over the retention of experienced, dedicated talent.

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
