Pros

very high salary for "stars" flexible hours

Cons

The so-called research behind the books is dubious at best, the so-called authors are really sales savvy actors/motivational speakers pitching a schedule of consulting services. Books are largely ghost written. Company sells a different and profitable message--treating people well is good for business--but doesn't really believe it or act it. The private company's internal employee stock ownership plan appears to be a blatant ponzie scheme in need of an investigation....mostly enriches CEO Jim Clifton and his very small inner circle. Clifton cares little about anything but his own personal wealth. A sad and slow demise will come to this once venerable firm dedicated to honest polling. George Gallup sold his company to the Clifton family and he is now rolling over in his grave. Avoid this dishonest cult.

Pros

Incredible flexibility and an opportunity to work on ground breaking work. Also a good place if you are looking to gain international exposure. Freedom to move to different offices if you are so inclined. Also, if you are really talented, the Gallup brand can launch your career.

Cons

If you need your hand held, it is not the place for you. A mertitocracy where people right out of school can make an impact if they have the courage and will. The focus on more standardized approaches may turn off people who are looking to work on custom solutions.
