Pros

Brilliant minds to work with in Research & Services. People who are intrinsically motivated to help their clients succeed.

Cons

Micro-management with zero focus on employee success and wellbeing. Always droning about the numbers. HR is an employer HR not a people HR. Surprised they keep getting listed as top places to work. There's no listing of corporate values anywhere. Bullying and narcissistic behaviours are tolerated and in fact, encouraged as long as the metrics are good. Very limited opportunity for career growth in services unless you aim to move to another head office outside of Aus. Some of the analysts are so overworked that they lash out on services & support. HR & Recruiters will over-promise and not deliver. Also, in services, don't expect market rates (compensation).

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
