Pros

You are constantly surrounded by knowledge and intelligence. Coming to a think tank makes the job more rewarding.

Cons

Process and business / IT overlap. Everyone always has their opinion and it is a constant struggle to make sure that your voice is heard. If you are in an IT shop of an IT research and advisory company, there are going to be some strong opinions of should and should nots flying around.

Pros

There are none, Gartner is the worst company I have worked for in 20 years. Gartner claim to be a lot of things, but in fact I'd say its all smoke and mirrors. if there is one good point, Id say there are some great people in the company, but I cant see it lasting for long - the churn rate is huge

Cons

Lack of clear strategy, lack of execution, treat staff poorly, poor senior management. The product is placed in the market to make the sales guys feel like 'snake oil' sales men. Consulting and EXP are the best services, but there is so much internal politics that they are being side lined.

Pros

Gartner offers talented people enormous opportunity for professional and career development, but it’s not for shrinking violets. You have to be a self-starter and accept responsibility for your own career, be comfortable operating without boundaries and be a great team player. In return, you get the opportunity to work with some of the brightest people in the industry every working day and have clients that respect you and say thank you.

Cons

Gartner’s senior management is of variable quality and not particularly sophisticated.
