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.

Gartner has high potential, but...

Pros

Family, work life balance is very much supported within Gartner. Flexibility of work time is also supported highly within the organization. Gartner provides excellent benefits. Gartner also provides a lot of opportunity to move within the organization and to other locations where a particular business operates from including overseas.

Cons

Lack of accountability by management and associates who should own tasks or projects. Middle management competence is quite low. Accountability usually lies on lower level associates which lowers morale and keeps people from being motivated to take risks and be innovative. Personal ambitions and agendas take precedence more often then not. Thats not to say that many companies are not like that but world class companies operate like teams and not against each other, which seems to be the case across many areas.
