Pros

Great teams of consultants to work with and learn from. Everyone works hard to serve clients and deliver great services. Makes a great place for new consultants to get their feet wet and get involved in visible client facing projects very early (while those clients are still around), just don't stay too long. Vast data sets provide opportunity for innovative research. Looks good on your resume for now, and there's a vast network of Gallup Alumni who have already escaped and often work together at a later date.

Cons

Leadership is rife with shameless nepotism and "yes men". Employees are not rewarded for a job well-done. Most likely a job well-done will instead result in a restructured plan to pay you less and bolster profits. Science is dated and hasn't been advanced in decades. Technology is just as dated and leads to long lead times and embarrassing offerings to clients.

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
