Business Development

May - August 2019 • Fort Myers, FL

What I liked

Being with a lot of other interns from all across the country, being close to so many beaches, paid housing, new office space, being the only intern on my team

What I wish was different

Would have liked the company to be more transparent (ex: completely changed the internship program after I accepted and did not tell me until the week before), could have used more organization, metrics were very high in this position, not paid if you work more than 40 hours a week even though the metrics for business development required more than that, would have liked more structure and support, more honestly and feedback from management would have been ideal

Advice

Make sure you are very clear on what you are going to be doing and if you accept here make sure they keep you updated if they change things, if you are being accepted for an account management role understand that you will be doing paperwork rather than setting new meetings, if you know you want to work with Gartner full time you will be ahead because so much of the internship is Gartner specific training, the Gartner brand can open doors for other major technology companies!

Account Executive Intern

May - July 2019 • Fort Myers, FL

What I liked

I got to explore a career path in sales. I also loved how the company invests so much time, money and effort to provide us with a great internship that truly prepares us for a job in the company and beyond. I enjoyed being in a new location and meeting all the other interns

What I wish was different

My experience was great don't think I would change anything.

Advice

At first I was scared because I was going to have to be in a new city for the summer and I also had no prior experience in sales but I would say for job opportunities don't let fear stop you and go on and take new opportunities because it could end up being something you really like.

Global Technology Sales Intern

May - August 2019 • Fort Myers, FL

I loved the culture and the overall experience I had this summer. Being in Fort Myers is ideal enough, but the culture at Gartner is unlike no other. Everyone is there to help you succeed and grow into the young professional we all dream of being.

Honestly, I do not wish anything had been different. I thought the length, location, and everything else about this internship was absolutely amazing.

One piece of advice I would share about my experience is to be yourself when working at Gartner. Everyone is there to support you and help you grow in whichever career path you decide to take within the company.

Sales Intern

May - August 2019 • Fort Myers, FL

What I liked

I loved the company! I was working in a newly built office, so everything was very new and modern. They also really care about their employees and offer amazing benefits. We also had housing provided at a local university, and we got to live on a beach!

What I wish was different

Everything was great, but there was some misalignment with the work we thought we would do vs. the work we actually did because the company's entire business model changed.

Advice

Network with as many people as you can, including other interns, employees, the trainers, and more. Everyone has so much knowledge to share and is super willing to help.

Data Analyst Intern

May - August 2019 • Fort Myers, FL

What I liked

My time as an internal data analyst intern (if you search online, Business Associate is the official title Gartner uses for the position) at Gartner was an amazing experience. I had the ability to work on big internal projects, to collaborate with people from around the world, and finally, to present a comprehensive, analytics-backed proposal to several VPs at the end of the summer. The degree of autonomy with which we were allowed to develop our projects, as well as the excellent support and feedback structure, would make this a great position for any technical, data-savvy individual.

What I wish was different

Summers in Fort Myers, FL are brutal, especially if you're from New York! Also, the city itself is still growing, but isn't nearly as big as say, Tampa or Miami.

Advice

I would recommend preparing extremely well for the interviews. The position is highly competitive, and most of the accepted applicants are from Ivy League schools.
