Company culture is good but it really boils down to your manager on how they want to treat their team.

Dislikes

DO NOT JOIN the Content Maintenance Center of Excellence (CM-COE) as it is a fancy editorial job. No real work (research) is being done, it is just a pilot project for people at the top.

The culture is mostly polite and respectful. Good company for a retirement lifestyle. Good work life balance for the most part.

Job security - Good
Company culture - Good
Work-life balance - Excellent

Dislikes

1. The career ladder doesn't offer any tangible skill development, thus limiting your growth avenues outside the company. 2. Extremely low pay by market standards. Not even kidding. 3. Not a place for ambitious people, good for those seeking a retirement lifestyle in their youth. Stronghold of a couple of people in managing all opportunities for the India Research team. 4. The HR is polite but not independent. They share all information (not in writing obviously) with the India leadership. People have had a history of being threatened for consequences if they go to HR....Read More

Gartner Bangalore office is not paying attention to employees health and lifestyle just dumping work on them without considering their mental health. There is no motivation or appreciation whatsoever and above all they have started laying off one of my friend has been laid off and she's facing a hard time finding a new job.

Dislikes

Work culture. Mental and physical health is being affected due to work pressure and there is no personal life left.
