Pros
Some of the very best colleagues I’ve worked with in my career.
Cons
For a company that profits from advising others on workforce and leadership, Gallup fails to follow its own advice. Since the arrival of the new CTO, large portions of the technology staff have been laid off without any transition plan, and entire department heads were forced to resign. To make matters worse, the same roles were reposted in San Francisco because the CTO openly disregards the talent in Omaha and the Midwest.. the very people who built the company into something worth his notice. Oh and get this, the CEO continues to preach culture, leadership, and employee engagement in public while showing little awareness or care for what is happening inside his own company. The silence from leadership after the layoffs speaks volumes. Morale has collapsed, and many of Gallup’s best people have already left or are planning to as soon as the job market allows. What remains is a culture of instability, arrogance, and hypocrisy. For a firm that claims to be an authority on engagement and organizational health, the disconnect between what Gallup sells and how it treats its own employees is glaring and deeply disheartening.
