Pros
I have been with Gallup for several years, and there are many things that keep me here even with job offers from Fortune 500's (and yes, some of them would pay better): Strengths-based culture that allows you be an individual Ability to be a consultant and do what I love Everyone is always willing to help if you have a question or a problem Great "big" mission behind a lot of Gallup's endeavors (Education, World Poll, Well being, GMJ, etc) Fun group activities with great participation (Corporate Cup is this week, other fun internal group events and community involvement) High level of intellect....very smart people working here. If you're not smart, you won't fit in... but you'll be an even bigger misfit if you think you're smart but you're actually not.... I can see that in some of the very pretentious reviews on this site Many opportunities for personal and professional growth (if you have talent and are actively seeking them...if not then you probably won't find them at Gallup) Well Being culture/emphasis on wellness Great internal resources and employee assistance programs (financial, physical, technological, etc...) Positive psychology...Gallup is full of people who have "positive" energy, and I love coming to work every day.
Cons
Can be long hours at times (not unusual for a consulting company, in my opinion), you have to be sure you have a strong work ethic and that you enjoy & believe in your work. If you are looking for a 9-5 where you are just completing tasks, complaining about your work, not thinking and not taking any initiative, Gallup is not for you.
