Pros

Work life balance Good progression opportunities if you have no independent thoughts and are a white male

Cons

Don't pay benefits that are worth anything, they wonder why everyone goes to salesforce after 2 years. Yes, a company with >$4b revenue in tech that doesn't even pay for insurance for their people. Bare minimum in materinity leave benefits. Anything to avoid looking after their people or paying a dime. No money for reps who were forced to work from home for a home office setup, still advising their clients to do this. Don't pay any expenses currently. Haven't since March last year. Greedy and don't pay their employees correctly, this comes as a top performer. Have $1b free cashflow according to quarterly report that is public, chase their sales rep for thousands when Gartner decides someone should no longer be a client. Can't expense a cab to a meeting, have to pay for it yourself due to "covid risk" - complete farce. Regardless of the situation, client or employee, Gartner ALWAYS comes first. Never the customer.

Pros

Remote work and great benefits

Cons

Compensation consistently lags behind market standards, and the culture suffers from entrenched favoritism that undermines any sense of meritocracy. Certain managers routinely elevate friends they’ve brought into the organization, creating an inner circle dynamic that erodes trust and team cohesion. Decision‑making often feels politically driven rather than performance‑driven, and it shows in how accounts are assigned and supported. There is a noticeable lack of operational understanding at the middle‑management level, particularly around how to structure books of business that give reps a fair shot at success. The result is predictable: widespread underperformance, constant turnover, and a region where hitting quota has become the exception rather than the norm.
