Pros

Gallup's brand is its number one differentiator. Many Consultants are intelligent people who believe in the brand and will do whatever it takes to close deals. Lots of autonomy in your role attracts a certain type of personality.

Cons

Burnout, burnout, and more burnout. Lack of diversity in the consulting side. Go-Tos have too much power over the trajectory of your career. Consulting position has ZERO work-life balance. You overwork yourself to make the Clifton family richer - they're billionaires! Go-Tos steal your ideas and pass them on to their favorite employees without giving you any credit. So many people left the company, it's embarrassing. They only care about selling their dogma in books and standard tools that have zero innovation. Company is based in Omaha, need I say more about having a small-town company culture that does not appreciate diversity. Way too Jim Jones-like for me.

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
