Pros

Name recognition and history. Some interesting research.

Cons

- I quickly realized that Gallup was a minor (very minor) league player pretending it was competing in the majors. It likes to think it can compete with McKinsey, BCG, etc. but it simply can't.. - Management is a joke. What serious consulting firm is run as a family business? Office and regional managers are toadies who exist to stroke them egos of the family. The individual who ran our office (and division) was so full of himself that he did not realize how much contempt his staff held him in. - The pay and benefits are appaling for a company that believes it is a major player. - I consider my time at Gallup a lost year (actually less than a year).

Pros

The name GALLUP and the people who have been the real builders of it.

Cons

It is shameful to see the results of very bad leadership (Exec Comm). For the past two decades the respected and admired Gallup name was sent up the flagpole and a moat of arrogance was built around it. Sell whatever you can, as fast as you can and then be persecuted by operations for doing your job. I just left and it will be interesting to see how long it takes for my history to be rewritten and my contributions minimized.

Pros

* Great concepts * Positions itself well given its small size and limited scope of ability * People do really seem to care about the company and its success

Cons

* Complete disconnect between concepts and practice - so sad but true * Managers have no experience as managers or practitioners - they just happened to do well on a test and are suddenly put in charge of a large team of much more seasoned staff * Completely closed to feedback and criticism - if you indicate you are anything less than fully "engaged" or criticize in any way then look out * Salary is terrible and health insurance is nearly non-existent.
