Pros

Great PTO. Good health care. Good pay for the area.

Cons

The management in this company is the absolute worst. You have people being put into management positions that should Never be there. Terrible leaders. Gartner was an exceptional place to work back in the day but times have changed. Gartner says "Mission over metrics" but that is no longer the case. They have become so obsessed with metrics that it's actually driving away their top talent. I've worked here for a few years and have already seen so much change for the worse. The majority of people that work in Service feel stressed out and dread coming to work. No one really enjoys what they do anymore and that's because leaders has become so obsessed with metrics that they've lost sight of what made Gartner so great.. the people. I wouldn't advise working here. Gartner tries to trap people here by getting them to relocate to Fort Myers. Moving takes a lot of time, energy and effort. There isn't job competition in the market here so you are truly stuck unless you relocate again... do yourself a favor and don't work here. The smartest people here are figuring that out and leaving. Looking to relocate myself.

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
