Pros

Some of the very best colleagues I’ve worked with in my career.

Cons

For a company that profits from advising others on workforce and leadership, Gallup fails to follow its own advice. Since the arrival of the new CTO, large portions of the technology staff have been laid off without any transition plan, and entire department heads were forced to resign. To make matters worse, the same roles were reposted in San Francisco because the CTO openly disregards the talent in Omaha and the Midwest.. the very people who built the company into something worth his notice. Oh and get this, the CEO continues to preach culture, leadership, and employee engagement in public while showing little awareness or care for what is happening inside his own company. The silence from leadership after the layoffs speaks volumes. Morale has collapsed, and many of Gallup’s best people have already left or are planning to as soon as the job market allows. What remains is a culture of instability, arrogance, and hypocrisy. For a firm that claims to be an authority on engagement and organizational health, the disconnect between what Gallup sells and how it treats its own employees is glaring and deeply disheartening.

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
