Pros
Over the past 2 years Gallup London – which is the hub for EMEA – has completely changed for the better, and is currently on a huge dynamic growth path. With a new Managing Partner, there has been a complete overhaul of the mission, workplace culture, leadership, development opportunities and this is now the best – and fastest growing region - in the organization to work at. Mission: If you are mission-driven this is the organization to work at. You will be working on huge, impactful, mission-driven clients at a far earlier stage in your career. The work is exciting and varied and all centred around a core purpose/mission of helping leaders and organizations solve every pressing problem facing humankind. One day you are advising the C-Suite of a major FTSE organization how to improve the lives and productivity of tens of thousands of employees, the next day working for a global foundation trying to improve the health outcomes of every person on the planet. Learning & Development: Unlike other professional services firms Gallup invests heavily in the Learning and Development opportunities for their associates. Ranging from learn-at-lunches with global thought-leaders to opportunities for overseas placements and managers and leaders that care passionately about you and your future. Transparent and Open Workplace Culture: The biggest perk working in EMEA is the transparent and open culture. If you are worried about something, want to know more, just ask. In EMEA there is a tremendous amount of psychological safety, and you can have honest and open discussions with your manager (go-to) about everything.
Cons
Not a con, more an observation. Those that excel and get the most out of their Gallup experience approach their growth and development as an active activity. Meaning they are an active participant in discussing what their future could look like. Unlike other professional services firms, this is encouraged by EMEA leadership and many people have many exciting and different roles in their tenure at Gallup.
