Pros

It's a job Not much else

Cons

If you're good at what you do, they'll work you like a horse until you are absolutely burnt out. Asking for support or an adjustment in your workload doesn't amount to much. Everything is "urgent." Leaders and managers go through a motions of pretending to care about you as a person, your career here, your wellbeing- but if nothing actually changes, then it's all just performative. Year over year our own engagement scores are wildly low, but nothing changes. Now they've shifted to the narrative of "you need to own your own engagement" - shifting the blame to workers and dodging accountability. There are some great people, but there are even more people who treat you with disrespect. They probably are nice people outside of Gallup, but the culture created here makes people feel burnt out, impatient, and irritable. The base pay is lower than industry standard. There is a bonus structure, but its a disincentive when working more hours amounts to lower pay for those additional hours.

Pros

Managers are outstanding. They truly respect and care about their employees. They make you feel comfortable sharing your opinions. They empower you to take action. The culture is fantastic. Fellow employees are wonderful to work with. Everyone takes their role seriously. You feel part of a village and want to contribute. You get to do what you do best! The mission and purpose make this feel not so much like a job, more like a way of life.

Cons

As is true for many companies, there are a lot of changes needed to be competitive in this current environment. Working through the changes can be bumpy at times. It is worth it to voice concerns and be part of the solution.

Pros

1. Genuine intellectual autonomy with real institutional backing behind you 2, A research heritage spanning nearly a century that raises the bar on everything you produce. I've worked with Nobel Laureates and many other top minds. 3. The nicest smart people I've encountered anywhere, drawn from all over the world; and that's held true across nearly 30 years 4. Treated like a responsible adult from day one; lots of autonomy and a remarkable breadth of data and research to work with 5. A place where your individuality is an asset, not something to sand down

Cons

1. If you are a person who needs someone else to structure your day and hand you a to-do list, you may struggle; the autonomy is real, and so are the expectations that come with it 2. The pace and intellectual standards can be demanding; this is not a coast-and-collect-a-paycheck environment
