Pros

Gallup is a strengths based organisation that not only allows every employee to be authentically themselves, but celebrates the uniqueness of each and every contributor - that is hard to beat in a working environment! - Because authenticity is celebrated, true friendships can truly blossom at work. Gallup has been preaching this for decades, having best friends at work is great for business and individual wellbeing: - Hugely mission driven, energising projects. - Trust and Autonomy are huge!

Cons

-At some point you can no longer preach about wellbeing to clients when you consistently understaff...especially the consulting team. As a private and family owned company, Gallup's foremost goal is to be profitable - that means there is no hiring done until the project is actually sold and needs to be delivered, sometimes with a skeletal staffed project team. As you can tell from people leaving, this leads to burnout and resentment since Consultants don't get overtime paid nor do they ever get an additional cash bonus for making the impossible possible...over and over again. As an employer you have a duty of care...especially to those individuals with 'Achiever' talent that have a hard time saying 'no'.

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
