Pros

Gartner's research is well-known and well-respected. The Gartner name opens many doors when trying to gain those all-important first meetings with prospective clients.

Cons

Management is an absolute mess. I was lied to regarding my territory and opportunities available in my job. No matter how well you do, keep in mind that there are two "classes" of people at Gartner: the "insider" group who are protected and coddled by middle management and everyone else. In particular, the middle management on the events side of the business is criminally incompetent. They provide little support to salespeople unless you are one of their buddies.

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.
