Pros

Looks outstanding on a resume. This business really holds prestige in IT. Great work life balance. Management has a good story in dealing with the economic challenges.

Cons

Extraordinarily cheap organization run by analytics with no interpersonal skill. If you're not in the "in crowd" you're on an island. Penny wise and absolutely pound foolish. They've imposed cost cutting measures including layoffs that you could have understood better, but then again, what was all the previous cost cutting for? Makes you wonder.

Pros

Terrific coworkers. Nearly everyone at the company is pleasant, professional, and willing to help you even if you’ve never met them before. Hybrid work environment. People generally seem to care about you on an individual level. One of the best corporations I’ve worked for.

Cons

Gartner is not in a great place right now. The business model requires changes and Wall Street analysts have tremendous doubts about the corporate liability in the era of AI. Stock has fallen in half over the past two years. Massive layoffs across the company. Doubt the stability is there for any kind of medium term or long-term career. Below market compensation, offset by pros above when they exist.
