Pros

Absolutely gorgeous riverfront campus in Omaha. Very social environment. Tons of events/meetings with free food & drinks. "Feel good" atmosphere - on site credit union, child care & cafe with great food

Cons

Forced to do more work in less time. Constant peer pressure to hang out after work. Blatantly obvious favoriting towards certain employees. They demand perfection & will viciously berate & belittle you if you don't provide it. It's also kind of a cult like environment. I remember having a team meeting about our Q12 results -the ones specific about our team. Someone had given our team a bad rating and said that Gallup was not a good place to work & a woman who had worked there for many years said in a very angry tone "I wanna know who said this!!" At the time I was the newest person on the team so everyone looked at me. I did not write that because at that time, I was in my honeymoon phase at Gallup & I really didn't feel that way. I just remember that being a bit awkward. Basically if you don't love working there as much as all the "life-ers" do, you will be persecuted for feeling that way. I honestly didn't have too much of an issue with my boss until I put in my notice. I was relocating to another state & all of a sudden she changed. It was like I made the forbidden mistake of deciding to leave Gallup & now I was being shunned. I was only there about 10 months & I think things would have started to get worse had I stayed.

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
