Gartner - Strong Senior Management; Even Stronger Analysts

Vice president and research director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Gartner offers its analysts a great brand which opens doors to the highest level of corporate influencers and decision makers. If you like to learn, and provide value to customers, this is the greatest job on Earth.

Cons

Lack of change in middle management over the years has created a substrate of mediocrity. Our new CEO is great, but a lot of the poor performers remain from previous executive teams. Constantly changing directives and strategies - the middle managers behave as if they're in a B-school exercise instead of being responsible for shareholder enrichment and employee growth.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to work with highly talented colleagues. Symposiums and conferences are class acts. Interact with clients across industry sectors, geography and size. Ability to influence industry. Opportunity to connect with "movers and shakers." Attention by media. Research communities that depend on collaboration--results in innovative thinking.

Cons

Changing research objectives. Performance metrics on such things as presentation scores, number of Gartner Internet hits received on your research... displayed on Intranet for all Gartner associates to view. Management encourages competition among analysts. Many analysts burnout as a result of the stress of performing. Overbooking of available time. Working into the evening and on weekends are considered the norm.
