Pros
World class services and advice for their clients Clients love Gartner - never had a bad client conversation You truly become a partner to your clients and the value is easy to measure Awesome global events Outstanding leadership at every turn Great culture - positive, supportive, fun and if you're not already an IT expert, you'll become one! Competitive compensation and benefits Freedom and flexibility - at least in the field New hire training is the best I've experienced
Cons
Information overload at times, especially for new hires or those not well seasoned in IT As a sales employee, the quarter to quarter focus is a challenge but that comes with the territory working for a public company. Internal processes can be cumbersome, but it becomes easier with time Advancement opportunities seemed limited due to long tenure in many areas of the company As a sales employee, the cycle can be long and very consultative. This was fine and expected, but if you enjoy a more transactional sales cycle, you won't be happy at Gartner.
