Pros

Gartner is all about the sales organization. The company offers a good salary with good rewards for overachievement. Gene Hall, CEO, wants to double the size of the sales organization so there is definitely opportunity for growth.

Cons

As the organization is growing rapidly, the strategy is all about how to make sales people more effective. There isn't an equal focus on adding analysts, consultants, program leaders or back office support. Sales executives are not expected to gain domain knowledge over time, just become better sales people who sell more services.

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
