Vantaggi
> You get to talk/consult with people from lots of different companies and locations. > Many positions are remote, so you can work from home. > Though rare, there are some really bright people.
Svantaggi
> Most analysts have little real-world experience in the areas they cover. Just check their LinkedIn profiles and see how many have unrelated bachelors from third-tier schools, and have spent their entire careers at Gartner. > Too many layers of middle management, many of whom are failed analysts that control content creation. > Formulaic research that follows well-established patterns. ChatGPT usually offers more insight. > Over-reliance on subjective metrics and forced ranking that punishes creativity. > IT department that operates nothing like what Gartner advises its clients to do. > Hero-worship of CEO who constantly tells people how to do their jobs. > Pandemic-era cost cutting has resulted in lower operating costs but far less customer face-to-face interaction.
