Pros

The only pro of working for Gartner as a recent graduate is that you'll be surrounded by people your age. The happy hours are also a fun perk depending on what team your on.

Cons

Probably everything. It begins at the lack of upward mobility within SSPD and the fact that recruiters tell you "its a quick program and you can get promoted fast". This is not true, as a BDX your success is based primarily and mostly on who your BDM is, what product/team you're placed on, and whether or not your CSM actually cares about you. It's really about getting lucky, less about how hard you're working at the job.

Pros

Totally remote and the hours that you work can be flexible. The other designers are very friendly and willing to help you out when solving problems. The company provides you with equipment to work with. They also forbid the use of AI in their presentations with is extremely respectable.

Cons

You are paid based on billable hours. Management is strict about how much time you spend on each project, but you also have to make sure to meet a quota of billable hours each week. It can be hard to find a balance and the time counting down while working is stressful.
