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

- Worked on high-visibility projects that pushed technical and creative growth - Collaborated with smart, driven coworkers who made the day-to-day enjoyable - Learned a lot about large-scale systems and balancing cross-functional needs - Was trusted to take ownership over my work, even in a fast-moving environment

Cons

- Sudden layoff with no prior communication or performance concerns — felt abrupt and poorly handled - Lack of transparency from leadership throughout the process, with no clear reasoning or acknowledgment of contributions - Limited growth opportunities for front-end developers despite growing technical demands - Cross-functional collaboration was often slowed down by internal silos and unclear ownership - Non-competitive pay or benefits

Pros

They've disappeared. Unless you count the rather empty, but impressive, office space in major cities. They've published some good books as well.

Cons

The recent stories on NPR and elsewhere paint the picture: a company that has lost its way. Gallup's arrogance has caused it to lose its way in listening to citizens and predicting election results. The arrogance of its leaders caused it to ignore the best advice of its consultants and implement a scheme for business development and delivery that has resulted in a massive exit of talent and a sharp decline in reveunues
