Pros

The employee benefits are great!

Cons

The work culture is, "Be fake and you'll make it." If you have one ethical bone in your body, the HR leaders will target you for going against the grain. Seasoned professionals are hired in at lower level positions and then overloaded with nonsensical tasks to prevent them from progressing in the organization. The Sr. Managers and Executives were mostly fast-tracked from entry-level roles and lack the skills, experience, and professionalism to properly lead. Extremely high turnover in every department and the nearly non-existent diverse employee base is disgusting. Super toxic environment that rewards the low hanging fruit and bullies high-performing employees, until they leave the business. Remote role doesn't protect you from feeling the toxicity with impromptu Teams calls every half hour and meetings at 7 am (CT) on camera.

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

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
