Pros

Gallup's offices are beautiful, coworkers are hard-working and talented, and most locations offer a relatively causal and autonomous culture. The brand is strong.

Cons

Client-facing roles are overworked and stretched too thin, which impacts the quality of work and morale. Productivity expectations continue to increase as salaries decrease. The priority of the leadership team is becoming a billion dollar comany, and they will do so at the expense of their workers....many of which are choosing to leave. Key managers aren't respected by employees. "People leaders" need to have the skill set to support and challenge employees, be an advocate, and provide career growth opportunities; this is a different skill set from managing budgets. Few career growth and development opportunities exist.

Pros

Lots of good locations of offices in US and worldwide. Really interesting products for business clients, one of the best public opinion polls in the world. I worked there more than one decade, and the first 15 years were wonderful.

Cons

Benefits are almost non-existent. Upper level management operates a "strategy du jour" style, cannot stand criticism or confrontation, and is very passive aggressive. Family owned corporation and all members of the controlling family are considered extremely talented by other family members. Other employees, unless "best friends" with family members, not so much. Daily expense burden is financed by the employees who incur expenses on behalf of the company.
