Gartner is a good workplace

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and time-off. Flexibility to work from home or remote locations. Good working environment. They provide the technology to get the job done. There are also many opportunites to recieve training within and outside of Gartner. The develoment plans really help to pave a path for a fruitful career.

Cons

Compensation growth for employees who have been with the company for a while is limited. Compensation increases seem very incremental as opposed to people who join from outside Gartner. Some middle management is inexperienced and can not make decision for themselves. They have a tendency to over promise without taking into account the full picture.

The most trusted name in the industry!

Senior account executive

Business Outlook

Pros

They have very valuable brand cachet, credibility and market presence, at least with IT executives and decision makers. Very robust research products and some extremely talented analysts.

Cons

They are hiring way, way, way too many salespeople and have a lot of turnover in sales now. The territories are oversaturated and they are having a hard time finding competent sales reps, so they have really dumbed down their field sales team. Consulting does not seem interested in doing smaller deals for smaller clients. They do not show consistency of how people get promoted or advance, particularly in sales. They also need to come up with an enterprise model and ways to more effective share their intellectual property to be more competitive.

Pros

Well known name in IT field. Nice office complex in Stamford.

Cons

Too many 'management' positions; huge hierarchy. Employee morale was terrible. No care or concern for employees; poor senior management. Such a huge overlap in my former department that they started terminating employees left and right...and 2 weeks before I was due to get my yearly bonus, as tiny as that was! Working there felt like a slap in the face.
