some of the internal systems

Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Genuinely care about employees and well being, very generous time off
Cons
Work life balance can be difficult, top performers tend to put in long hours
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Work/Life Balance is great and people are awesome
Cons
Quota Sprints/WOW Sales meetings are repetitive
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Helps understand technology market and give you the strongest foundation you could have for an early career start. You are working directly with C-level executives and creating great business acumen. You get a great start to consultative sales. Great work life balance!
Cons
Very difficult sale. You are selling an idea, a nice to have that you need to convince is a need to have. You may only sell one deal a year. They are long, complex sale cycles. With that, this role is not for every sales person. Just because you are good at sales doesn't mean you will make it at Gartner. Also we are way under paid for market rate.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits, work life balance
Cons
With growth, leadership levels have added unproductive activities and micromanagement
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Very fair, ethical company. Good culture generally. They don't hire jerks. People are genuinely nice, supportive, helpful. I created life-long friendships here. Salaries are good. Work-life balance is great.
Cons
Research methods on the CEB acquisition side ("PPR" or hCEB) are incredibly bad. Managers are useless, so for people who've done research in other contexts, it's painful and fraught with ethical dilemmas about research integrity. Systems are shockingly bad. You very often have to fight just to do your job, to serve clients well. It can take forever to get promoted because there is one vision of a Gartner (really, CEB) researcher, and if you don't fit that, they don't see your value.
