Pluspunten

I worked as an SMB Account Manager, and the pay is compelling at first, especially in regards to benefits. The Fort Myers facility is world-class with a cafeteria and gym inside.

Minpunten

It's a Greek-life, university-style atmosphere where politics, nepotism, and good looks dominate the apparatus of the organization. It's rainbows and unicorns on the outside, but a complete train wreck on the inside. They "invest" in their talent by putting them through a grueling training process called "The Academy" that takes well over two months to complete. What they don't tell you when you're hired is that you're not guaranteed the job -- you MUST make it out of Academy to keep your job. So what that means is that even after going through a 5-step interview process and two months of Academy, you're still not necessarily a fit for their ideals. There were several people in my Academy that moved their entire families for this job, only to lose it two months in. Work-life balance is an issue once you hit the floor, and the territory arrangement only sets up a select few for success, which is critical because if you aren't hitting your numbers you can consider yourself a goner. It is cutthroat. Run. Away. Far. Away.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
