Pros

- Good career opportunity - If you want to be in the tech industry, this is where you want to be - Great understanding of business operations

Cons

Turnover in the sales department is well over 70%. I spoke to someone who used to crunch the numbers and it jumped to 77% this year, 2017. You will see numbers and talk to recruiters that 80% or so people hit their quota, which is UNHEARD of.... Reason being they churn and burn you so quickly you don't have a chance to fully get a grasp of what you're doing. It's cooking the books to make your numbers look more favorable. Cool, companies do it. But, if you are someone that's going to relocate for a job opportunity like this...you need to know this happens and be prepared for it.

Pros

Good benefits and work from home schedule

Cons

Gartner has lost much of what once made it a great place to work. The culture has become increasingly focused on micromanagement, with excessive oversight and an overwhelming number of metrics driving day-to-day activities. Employees are often measured on quantity rather than quality, creating unnecessary pressure and reducing job satisfaction. What was once an engaging and collaborative environment no longer feels enjoyable. Morale has declined as leadership places more emphasis on tracking performance than supporting employees. Staff are frequently treated as numbers rather than valued contributors, leading to frustration and disengagement. Overall, the company has lost its luster. Unless significant changes are made to improve employee experience, reduce micromanagement, and foster a more supportive culture, it will continue to struggle with retention and employee satisfaction.!
