Great company to work for.

Senior specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people that work at Gartner are very intelligent, friendly and willing to lend a helping hand. There are always opportunitues to grow professionally and move forward within the company. Gartner also provides a generous amount of paid time off and provides great benefits.

Cons

There is not a lot of training so you are often thrown into the fire and forced to self teach. The company is more focused on process and metrics so anything that is done outside that, goes unappreciated. When provided more work within a role (outside of the job description), nothing is taken off of your plate to balance out the load so being overworked becomes common.

Great place to learn and build strong client relationships

Business Outlook

Pros

Great flexibility in terms of working from home, having decent control over your own schedule (in certain areas and roles). Working with industry leading research and analysts.

Cons

Limited opportunity for development and growth, and not focused on keeping salaries competitive for long-time employees. Becoming increasingly more focused on metrics, which are important, but seem to be overshadowing the client-service work (that is ultimately a people business).
