Pros

A job you can probably do in your sleep, unless your manager decides it's time to enforce arbitrary targets. Interesting for the first year, then you run out of things to learn and they will try to keep you busy with completely pointless projects that absolutely no one will ever look at again after you finish them. If you want an easy job with an average paycheck, this is the place for you. (You can WFH full time!) There are some really great people working at the company, so if you're lucky you'll make friends. Gartner is a safe place to land, no layoffs in sight, company will continue to grow no matter the economic uncertainty.

Cons

Pay is below market, and with inflation doing what it is and the company only giving what they call "merit" increases every year, you will basically take a pay cut every April. Competitors in London will pay 10-30k more for the same role. Career advancement is pushed as the big reason to come to Gartner and stay. The idea is that since they pay below market, the learning opportunities and brand should keep you engaged. This does not work long term as you run out of things to learn fairly quickly and promotions are far and few between. If you do get promoted, increases are so minimal, it's almost not worth the extra work you're taking on.

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.
