Pros

Great people - lots of smart and hard-working people who really care about big ideas and doing the right thing.

Cons

Terrible culture - management's complete lack of understanding of human nature leads to a place where even top performers feel demoralized. The work gets joyless and thankless. Somehow 30+ days of PTO is supposed to make up for it all?

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.
