Analyst should be a role you never want to leave... but in reality the turnover is high. - Senior Research Director Gartner Employee Review

Pros

Extremely intellectually stimulating environment Your peers are the experts in their domains You help clients solve their biggest challenges, and their gratitude is immensely rewarding. Work from home is nice

Cons

Gratitude from the clients doesn’t translate into high pay, with most analysts making less than they would elsewhere. Retention among the analysts is a problem, but management seems only focused on client retention. Metrics, metrics, metrics - the focus on management by metrics that have very little ability to show any material causation to client outcomes causes perverse behaviors. Have people work from home but not letting them expense any internet or phone costs is short sighted.

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.!
