Pros

Gartner is a place that rewards intellectual horsepower. They do a pretty good job of taking care of employees (pay/benefits), and allow a good amount of flexibility in work location/hours, etc. There is no question you are working with some of the best and the brightest in the industry.

Cons

A very political environment. More so than anyplace else I've ever been it's all about who you know. Not what you know or what you can do. Very siloed which led to poor communication and not much of a team atmosphere within the company. It's also a very slow moving culture. Plans are difficult to get implemented and decisions are slow in coming.

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.
