Pros

Flexible schedules, nice workspace, family friendly.

Cons

Lack of strategy, poorly managed. The company does not use internal expertise but instead frequently rotates through puppet leadership to make change without outcomes. Business has no long term strategy and makes knee jerk reactions without thinking through implementation or a strategy. Company can be a positive place for women but mostly only those in management positions. There are very limited growth opportunities as a software developer within the company making this a decent first job.

Gallup’s mission is to deliver great analytics and advice, and our technology team plays a crucial role in making these analytics and advice come to life for our clients. Our department’s strategy and work is based on data that ensures we are focusing our time where it will have the most impact. With the world’s workforce changing far faster than ever before, it can feel challenging to have to adapt our deliverables to meet the needs of our clients, however we try to mitigate any negative impact this could have on our associates. When we’re required to deviate from plans, we always attempt to communicate the reasons behind the change and what our plan is going forward. We know that some of our best ideas come from our people closest to the projects, and we truly appreciate their insight and ideas even if we can’t take action on them at that time. We take feedback like this to heart as our goal is to make sure we’re creating an engaged workplace. Thanks again for sharing your feedback – best of luck in your future.

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
