High quality services in a competitive environment.

Sales director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High quality people who generally put the customer first. Competitive pay. Good benefits. Generally well regarded company by others in IT and other industries. Very good environment for those who perform.

Cons

Internal Sales process seems to have become overly complex with a too much emphasis on reporting and managing upward. Pricing flexibility and giving the customer exactly whet they need/want was often at odds with what Gartner management packaged and prices. Too much "one size fits all" strategy for pricing and service delivery.

Very bright colleagues, interesting engagements, taking the initiative crucial

Consulting director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Experienced, bright and down-to-earth colleagues, freedom to shape your job and work hours if you are delivering numbers and quality. Consultants tend to have a nice mix of confidence and humility. Access to Gartner research great asset for new consultants. Very good pay if you are successful, great pay if you exceed expectations. If you can deliver great quality on schedule, you will be rewarded and have high work-life balance. Fixed-price/fixed-scope engagements reward those who can deliver high quality reports fast.

Cons

None, really...just be aware of the requirements. Hitting utilization targets is very important almost from day one. Can be tough for those who have not developed an internal reputation yet. Must be prepared to travel if necessary to hit numbers which can be difficult in some markets (and relatively easy in others). As lower margin business (compared to Research) in a public company, financial requirements can result in high pressure on consultants to work extra hours to secure both client satisfaction and corporate profit.

Need to improve work-life balance. Management needs to be more clear on what the workloads really are are.

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great organizational knowledge and willingness to share - Wonderful platform to propel a person into the limelight - Solid business execution

Cons

- Analysts and Sales (especially in high demand areas) experience no work life-balance situation - Management has become disconnected from the realities of being an employee, making changes that only add to process workload and do little to move the needle. - Focused too heavily on Wall Street. Research changes and focus on generating money now effecting quality of output and quality of life.
