Pros

Gallup is a widely known with a respected brand. The facilities are beautiful with clean, comfortable and neat offices. The recognition shows are absolutely epic!

Cons

Over the years, Gallup has evolved from an industry leading research and development organization to a high stress, bottom-line driven and under staffed work environment. There is an outflow of young highly motivated and very intelligent key employees becoming industry leaders in other high profile companies. Under recent policies, vacation, holidays, or sick leave, are to be made up in overtime. Strengths-based management is sold and championed but doesn't seem to be widely applied. Recognition is generally forced and of little substance; championing those choose to work inappropriate hours for the good of the "tribe". Family time is a second priority to work time regardless of the hour or occasion.

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
