      Often better in theory than in practice - Research Director Gartner Employee Review

      Pros

      Be the acknowledged authority on something. Manage yourself and pursue the things you think are important. Work with smart people. Influence high-profile clients and shape the industry. There are amazing opportunities for the right person. Charismatic, aggressive self-starters with good technical knowledge and marketing savvy will thrive.

      Cons

      Potentially, long hours and lots of travel. Annoying bureaucracy. Terrible IT systems. Ineffectual management. Nebulous goals. Performance measurement seemingly by dartboard. Some people work really hard, and some people slack all the time, and no one seems to be able to tell the difference.

      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
