Pros

Respected market leader Excellent CEO/CFO team are propelling the company Research culture blends collegiality with pursuit of excellence Opportunites to advise major companies Working in global research teams provides extra interest Gartner research experience can be helpful to pursue jobs in the vendor community Sensible emphasis on expense / travel policies, rigorous performance reviews and hiring the best

Cons

High expectations and high workrate - maybe this is a pro! Processes can be clunky for the size to which the company has grown Stack-ranking review process, though carefully applied, means that some can be disadvantaged even if they work well

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.!
