Pros

There are amazing, talented people at Gallup (although just as many have left). You'll be introduced to concepts that make an amazing workplace (you just won't find them practiced at Gallup).

Cons

As many of the earlier posts indicate, Gallup has undergone a massive organizational change. While the change as an idea might be positive, the execution of this change has ruined the morale, the culture, and the reputation of the company. The earlier posts recap this in great detail and with high accuracy. The bottom line is that employees who naturally worked long hours (over 2300), felt motivated to exceed expectations, and who gave EVERYTHING to the organization were disrespected and reminded that even the most perfect company is still a business. It's not about the reduced pay or pay caps, it's about senior leaders bragging about the financial success the company is now enjoying (um, it's likely due to the surplus in payroll you have). It's not about the true lack of transparency; it's about the fact that we pretend to be transparent. It's not about some turnover following the change; it's about treating those once valued employees as crap and replacing them with 21 year olds. It's not about all of the new policies and rules; it's about asking for your employees input on what changes make the most sense for those most affected. It is saddening to read these posts because so many people were emotionally impacted by the change. Before, I didn't need a website because I'd actively tell my friends, family, and random (qualified) strangers that they should be so lucky as to work for Gallup. Now, I visit a website to warn people against it.

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
