Pluspunten

Decent benefits Commissions on renewals for AEs Diverse and multi-cultural Good work-life balance

Minpunten

Management relies heavily on overly strict, check-the-box processes primarily to shield themselves from accountability. An average of 4 mandatory internal meetings weekly just for process tracking and oversight, are required. A significant portion of time is consumed by mandatory tasks that serve management's KPI goals, rather than benefitting your core sales objectives. There is a pervasive culture of blaming ground-level reps for failures resulting from questionable strategic decisions made at the top. Intrusive Micromanagement: Whether experienced or junior reps are subjected to extreme, multi-layered micromanagement—disguised under "coaching." This includes mandatory role-playing before most client facing meetings, logging pre-meeting prep, and running through client presentations slide-by-slide. The leadership structure is a disconnected pyramid, failing to account for real customer needs and resulting in slow, inadequate market adaptation. The Singapore market is saturated, leading to a low volume of quality accounts per rep. And Accounts not fairly allocated. The expectation for Account Executives is to handle "everything" and be "accountable for everything," severely hindering their ability to focus on core selling activities.

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.
