Job security, Compensation and benefits and the work environment is good.

Dislikes

Senior Management needs more open dialogue down the ladder, a better dynamic work environment would be motivating, proper recognition needs to be improved.

Company policies are good, you get ample time off and have access to great research resources.

Dislikes

The compensation is below average and no straight forward visibility into what's required to get promoted. Management doesn't walk the talk when it comes to work life balance.

At times career progression is difficult but they promote everyone within 2 years so i guess it’s okay

The only good thing is a brand name on your resume which will help you land your next interview easily. Work-life balance was also good but it was later made terrible by one incompetent leader who would expect you to start work in IST but end your day in US time, so work till 9PM.

Dislikes

1.) They've made a few self-centered and selfish people as leaders in the India team (Director and above) and every such leader has only one goal - to impress his/her manager in the US, and then gradually make a move to the US. There are many such people in Product & Services teams who have followed the same tactics to move to Stamford. They don't care about the team or how many people's careers they destroy, as long as they get to move to the US. 2.) I was in Product & Services team, and in this team, people are segregated into two group: IIM/IIT and 'all others'. Both these group have separate set of treatment, compensation, feedback, opportunities, treatment, infact the gifts they give are also different...lol Not to mention that if you are non IIT/IIM, you are treated as a 3rd grade citizen with no respect or say in anything. And if you protest or don't fall in line, your manager will put you on a success plan, like I was twice, stating that how you are polluting the team culture and are a misfit for Gartner (even when a few months back I had receive an award that no else got amongst a team of 100+ people) 3.) As someone else has mentioned, the HR team here has no say or backbone (and earn 30-50 lakhs), and is just used as a means of pushing the pre-determined narrative of the leadership onto the employees. Eg: I went to the HRBP of P&S team with data from PayScale, Glassdoor, 5figr sites to show that my compensation is way less than what these website show a similar person at Gartner makes - they simply dismissed this secondary data I had, looked at their own data, and said everything looks good and that I was in the right band. But they did not that I had already seen the salary of my manager, who was earning 4x than what I was (12lpa vs 50lpa), so I was obviously not happy and decided that day to leave. The HR team at Gartner India is a joke at best and highly incompetent, nothing more! 4.) Unfortunately, I had to deal with two pathetic, dimwitted, and useless managers (Tanu Chawla and Rohit Adlakha) while my time there and both used the probation period and success plan as a tool of showing me that what happens when you don't act like a "Yes Man" to such managers, and there are many such people in the India team because what is happening is that they are simply hiring people who have no leadership or managerial experience, but here they get the responsibility of leading large teams, and that is where they fail terribly. For me, my Managers had no sense of empathy, had no coaching experience, no intellectual intelligence or common sense, yet I had to take feedback from them everyday, which was very hard as I knew that they had lesser knowledge & skills than me. Because of this, I received no promotion for 4 years while the average time for promotion is 2 years in Gartner because they used their designation to stop my progress. 5.) Compensation wise, people from IIT/IIM with 2 yrs of work-ex were making more than people like me who had 10+ years work-ex, and impact wise, we were contributing more to company growth than these people who just joined, but no one in Gartner wants to do something about it. There is a picture on Fishbowl that shows differences in compensation. Personal experience with Managers: Tanu Chawla is high-headed and extremely egoistic, so if you are not in her good books from the beginning, she will make sure to make you life hell in the office; shouts in meetings, drinks during office hours, influences youngsters in the team by taking them out to expensive pubs, and only takes care of people who act as "Yes Man" to her in the company . Is extremely dumb, has no knowledge of the work, and almost ended loosing her job at Gartner (went from manager of 10+ folks to an IC role). Rohit Adlakha took every wrong decision one could take as a leader - promoted the wrong people who were not ready, stopped the promotion of deserving people, and setup people for failure by building a culture of jealousy, hatred, and distrust amongst the team members. Nobody wanted to work with him and people were on cloud nine when he went to the US. Good Riddance! Overall, Gartner is a great company overall with a monopoly business, but still it was the worst experience of my professional life due to poor and incompetent people in India leadership team. Would join this company again, but never in India or under an Indian manager/leader....Read More
