Pros

Work life of balance at some points of the year

Cons

This review is to ensure that no one makes the mistake I did by joining this company. All of the positive reviews you see below (all written on the same day or a day apart and are very short) are fake. Gartner has these put up when too many of the negative reviews start to bring down the overall score. As someone who consistently hits winner’s circle, I’m writing this based on my experience and not my performance. This company is filled with some of the least intelligent people you will ever work with. The term growth mindset is used to gaslight you for things that you deserve as both a human and an employee. There is a reason the turnover is so much higher than that of any enterprise of its size. Selling here is extremely difficult. The product brings little to no value anymore and when customers start to realize that, there’s only so much selling that can be done. No one will tell you this during the interview process, but we don’t have a CRM, we don’t provide any tooling, and the sentiment here is that you don’t need to know anything about the client’s function or domain in order to be successful. The result are thousands of ill equipped sales people with no internal or external knowledge all bombarding the same accounts from dozens of different regions. It’s a catastrophic mess that Gartner acknowledges but doesn’t care to solve due to the desire to maintain the appearance of being a “hyper growth company” Do yourself a favor and join a company with a future, because I assure you, this is not it.

Pros

Terrific coworkers. Nearly everyone at the company is pleasant, professional, and willing to help you even if you’ve never met them before. Hybrid work environment. People generally seem to care about you on an individual level. One of the best corporations I’ve worked for.

Cons

Gartner is not in a great place right now. The business model requires changes and Wall Street analysts have tremendous doubts about the corporate liability in the era of AI. Stock has fallen in half over the past two years. Massive layoffs across the company. Doubt the stability is there for any kind of medium term or long-term career. Below market compensation, offset by pros above when they exist.
