Pros

Good first Job to get your experience for a real job.

Cons

Lot of hours. Managers are terrible. Make you work way too many hours and do not anything to make themselves look good. Managers are only staff that receive recognition for the work their employees do. Managers only care that they look good to CEO and other mgmt so they can take paid company fancy fishing trips while employees work 60 to 70 hrs weeks as a normal. Managers party while employee suffers. They call dumb managers MVP and they don't know anything about softwares. Do smart thing and don't waste time here. Managers lie about culture and promise whatever they can to get you hired. Most incompetent manager I've ever worked for in softwares.

Gallup Technology is no exception to other technology environments where at times it is fast-paced and intense. While 60 -70 hour weeks are definitely not the norm (our timesheets can confirm), there are times when longer hours are required to meet a big project timeline and we’re proud of the dedication, commitment and talent our technology team puts forth to help our company and our clients grow. Our management team wants nothing more than to help set up each person for success, give them the recognition they deserve and provide a great culture where associates can thrive. With tenure of our team being at 2 to 25 years and an average turnover of 10-12%, our engagement data is strong and the work we do is exciting. Best of luck in your future careers!

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
