Vantaggi

Tech companies put some value in Gartner's brand so that's a good addition to your resume

Svantaggi

Corporate culture is very top-down and the top is on edge, internally competitive, and resistant to new ideas. This trickles down to everyone else, resulting in a negative emotional experience for most sales reps on most days. No adherence to sales best practices such as having the ability to reference existing clients, very poor sales enablement. NO CRM at all, not kidding. Everyone works on individual Outlook address books, using it as a CRM (told to do so by management) and because the sales process involves a lot of spamming--and the turnover rate is very high for reps--you will end up upsetting a lot of prospects who have spoken with previous reps. At times it feels more like telemarketing than consultative B2B sales. Recruiters will tell you the 'average' sales cycle is 60-90 days but when you speak with reps you will learn that it is very rare to make a sale your first 6-8 months. When you do some digging, you'll find that the reps who have done well always picked up deals early in the year that were worked on the previous year. Attention from management is showered on reps who got a little lucky early on, and they're ghosts to everyone else who is struggling.

Vantaggi

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Svantaggi

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
