Pros

- You are allowed huge portions of autonomy, which demands discipline - Intellectual, almost academic atmosphere. You are surrounded by thought-leaders. - Due to the strong brand, you get access to c-level at the clientele you are serving - Working from home

Cons

- Processes have not caught up with Gartner now being a large-cap organisation. Ironically, since we are supposed to advise others on IT - our systems are terrible - Workload can in periods be overwhelming - be prepared to erase boundaries between work and life. - More and more metrics-driven, sometimes causing people to chase perverted incentives not good for the company

Pros

My experience at Gartner was memorable to say the least.. The client site I worked at was extremely stressful, though exhilarating enough to motivate me to jump up every morning at 4:15 to catch a 5:15 train arriving in my office by 6:30 and back home after dark. I found the Gartner folks I worked with themselves very collegial, extremely smart and engaging and cheerfully focused on reinforcing the corporate brand and being more effective than the competition.

Cons

Pressure to maximize billable hours appears to create unnecessary pressures on top of the daily client related dynamics. This pressure tends to suck up continuing educational time required to keep up in fast moving technological areas.
