Pros

Tons of flexibility and great work life balance Decent benefits like charity match

Cons

They literally could not care less about their employees despite telling us they do at every single town hall and team meeting. Upper management is extremely misleading, and lower down team managers aren't given enough information or resources to do anything for their reports despite wanting to. Because of this, career progression is essentially impossible - it is very unclear what you need to do to progress even if you excel in performance reviews. Upper management also does essentially everything they can to be opaque about what is actually going on within the organization, and instead only reports the positives and that everything is fine. Compensation is decent, but would not say its competitive compared to similar roles at other companies.

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.
