Pros
Good brand, very smart analysts. Gartner proposition is strong and our services can really make the difference between success and failure in IT. Opportunity to develop a great network of C-levels across your client organizations - they push you big times to do so and they provide lot of training to make sure you are successful with that. Decent salary and compensation plan; some good benefits. Career development plan is there, but it can be improved.
Cons
Management, or better to say micro-management: plenty of KPIs, data, targets. The whole Gartner management are people who have been promoted within the organization - they don't bring any fresh perspective. The majority of them have no idea of what management is, beside long management training hours. Incredible pressure to meet monthly and quarterly targets. Very poor work/life balance. Some arrogant people.
