...everyone is very approachable. Flexibility of working from home unless required. Timely salary credit, (before time, when credit date is a bank holiday). Subsidized cab services (negligible cost), and free lunch at office. Last and definitely not the least, is the work life balance, no over-work after work hours, no hassle in taking leaves, be it casual, sick or paid. The organization works like a well-oiled machine with everyone aware of their roles and tasks and projects are optimised, thus there is no need to overwork the employees.

Gartner is the one of the best pay masters with uncapped incentives. If you are an overachiever the quantum of money you can get is huge. The office space is very good, you get free meals with other perks. Workwise you get to interact with top notch professionals within and outside Gartner.

Too much office politics. Hazy sales policies, cut throat competition. In the MSE segment, the sales managers will do things to pull you down, and they love gossiping about your personal and professional aspects.

Salary expectations from Gartner?

Update: I've been offered 7LPA - which is lower than their quoted budget - which they shared immediately after asking me my previous salary 😄 I'm going to negotiate for more - what do y'all think? I've 10 YOE editing for academia and clients from a wide range of industries. I'm about to give an interview for Gartner to edit their technical copy - will require a fair amount of work. This is a full-time, regular role but remote. My career has mostly been as a freelancer, so I'm wondering - what would be the industry standard for an editor at a marketing consultancy with 10 YOE?
