Gallup reviews

The ultimate irony: a company that consults on employee engagement has created a workplace ruled by fear. Under current CEO Jon Clifton's leadership, the organization systematically violated every principle it sells to clients. The new CTO dismissed the existing workforce as inferior ('The midwest doesn't have good technology workers') then laid off local talent while posting equivalent roles in San Francisco. No transition planning, no cultural integration - just the kind of change management disaster Gallup would charge six figures or more to help other companies avoid. The result is exactly what their own research would predict: a demoralized workforce working longer hours out of survival instinct, unclear expectations, and a once-collaborative culture reduced to people keeping their heads down.

Leadership is inexperienced Few opportunities for advancement Leadership disengaged from employees Clique culture that favors those who suck up to leadership Nepotism Profound favoritism
