Svantaggi
Working for Gartner was great when I started about 5 years ago, but the company has gone down-hill since then. Even management and tenured analysts are unhappy with how the company has changed, with their focus more on meeting random and absurd metrics rather than the quality of work or the relationship with customers / clients. Pay increases have been abysmal. Despite scoring within the top 20% of employees on annual evaluations for the last 3 years, I've only received an annual raise of about 1.5% each year -- Not even enough to keep up with inflation. Despite posting double-digit growth and record profits for the past several years, they recently announced that they are taking away other compensation benefits for their employees. Bonuses have been reduced, and now they no longer reimburse internet expenses for at-home employees -- Effectively removing $1K a year from my compensation. When I complained to management, they told me it's all about turnover -- if you don't like it, you can find a good job. Clearly, maintaining top-level talent is not a priority in their current management paradigm.
