Pros

-Culture is great... laid back and a lot of likeminded individuals -Training program sets a good foundation for sales aspiring individuals coming out of college -Exposure to a lot of different businesses and allows you to learn at an MBA level in some cases

Cons

-Management on HT has severely decreased... Young VPs that don't know anything outside their Gartner bubble and aren't ready to be in leadership -It has severely become a boiler room... all about the NCVI and less about actually driving value... High pressure sales that ruins relationships to get to that golden number -Politics is absolutely terrible... If you join the org just politic with the MVP and you'll be sure to get that promotion. Inappropriate rumors and a corresponding promotion make it very very fishy and everyone knows. -THE GARTNER KOOLAID. Don't talk bad about anything cause there will always be a follower who thinks Gartner is the end all be all in everything. It's a company with a poor value prop on HT but the koolaid creates sheep.

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
