Pros

Positive culture Campus location Somewhat flexible schedules (100% up to your manager, no policy) Nothing to do

Cons

"Positive culture" Nothing to do Somewhat flexible schedules (100% up to your manager, no policy) No vacation or holidays No opportunities for advancement Worse benefits than hourly employment at Walmart Employees are pressured into giving a Glassdoor review just 3 weeks into the job so the ratings are manufactured.

Gallup Response

Gallup has a positive, inclusive culture where people can innovate, do great work, and receive frequent feedback to maximize their talents. Our developers are busy creating industry leading platforms that help drive development, engagement, and performance at many of the world’s biggest and best companies…and our roadmap has planned features years into the future – far from “nothing to do”! With one of the most statistically diverse workgroups in technology, we’re far from a “boys club.” In addition to being led by two female CIOs, we also support many city wide and global initiatives through support in programs like Grace Hopper, Code Crush, and additional local efforts to promote more women pursuing technology degrees. At Gallup, we do not have a set vacation or holiday schedule – we value the freedom to allow individuals to choose what holidays are important to them to celebrate and people should take the vacation time they need and want that aligns with their work, life, experience, and tenure. If employees are unsure of how many days that means or they want a set number, they are encouraged to ask their manager to get a sense of how many seems right. We aren’t going to keep track of it, but individuals can if that helps. My door is always open and I value a conversation at any time so we can avoid any misinterpretation and resolve any challenges. If Gallup wasn’t the right place for you, I do wish you the best of luck in the future and an organization with more structure may be better to help you shine.

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
