Pros

You have access to a vast amount of technology insight that you can't get anywhere else. If you put in the time to read the reports you will be smarter that when you first joined. They provide the best sales training that is effective and powerful. You feel that you truly work for the best company in research and advisory - bar none. The Winner's Circle events are great recognition. More importantly, everyone is recognized when they do a job well done. Area Managers are very good at recognition in a timely manner. Work/Life balance is great. You work from home - so you must be a self-starter. The events wow every attendee.

Cons

High turnover of sales people. Limited career path in sales - Senior Account Manager to an Area Manager to 1 VP to SVP.

Pros

Name recognition. If you are in IT, you are familiar with Gartner. Smart people, great vision, growing company with lots of opportunities.

Cons

As with many companies there are several layers of unnecessary managers that report to one another. Happy to be a part of this company, though sometimes I feel like I complete spreadsheets so that my manager can check a to do off the list. I have a great manager, so I am not complaining.

Pros

Gartner has a solid benefits package. There have some smart people. If you are in sales and you miss your number, bye bye.

Cons

Analysts are aging fast and are overworked in some areas, others do next to nothing. Particularly true when so many cover Comms and literally do very little. 600 analysts? Sorry, only about 100 that are real analysts. The rest just count things.
