Pros

Flexibility; nice campus; nice cafteria

Cons

I decided enough time has passed by till I decided to write my review. Before I wrote my review, I looked at the all the pages of reviews and apart of me was comforted in knowing that I wasn't alone in my feelings. I won't come off as judgmental and tell anyone who is looking at Gallup as a potential place to work to not work there. I will take the approach of one of the most recent questions and ask certain questions that you should ask before accepting a position at Gallup. -If you look at the dates of the negative reviews, why is it that a positive review pops up the next day after that? Why is the front page just filled with positive reviews recycling the same "pros" and "cons"? -When you read the "Advice to Management" section in reviews for 3 stars and under, what message/theme/commonalities are there? -How important will it be to your career to be connected to the Clifton family? -When thinking about accepting a position at Gallup, do your research and figure out how stable of a company Gallup is. Do other companies really want this B2C recycled employee/customer engagement data and research when there really is no reason for companies to spend millions of dollars on this kind of research anymore? -For job stability, do you really think B2C employee/customer engagement is going to bring in a lot of revenue? If you really are thinking about accepting a job offer at Gallup, please read the reviews AFTER the first page on Gallup's Glassdoor page.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. In order to ensure all opinions have the opportunity to be heard about what it’s like to work at Gallup, we recently started inviting our associates to share a review on their Gallup anniversary date. No coaching, no prompts on what to say, just an authentic ask of our associates to share their experience whatever that may be. It’s been exciting to see so many reviews appear on an ongoing basis and we believe the “glowing positive” reviews you mention are a true reflection of our culture and engagement (and show another perspective of what it’s like to currently work here!). Our goal is to create a high-performance culture where our associates are engaged, and the not-so-positive reviews we read on Glassdoor are comments we take seriously. Thanks again for sharing your feedback, best of luck in your future careers.

Pros

Managers are outstanding. They truly respect and care about their employees. They make you feel comfortable sharing your opinions. They empower you to take action. The culture is fantastic. Fellow employees are wonderful to work with. Everyone takes their role seriously. You feel part of a village and want to contribute. You get to do what you do best! The mission and purpose make this feel not so much like a job, more like a way of life.

Cons

As is true for many companies, there are a lot of changes needed to be competitive in this current environment. Working through the changes can be bumpy at times. It is worth it to voice concerns and be part of the solution.

Pros

1. Genuine intellectual autonomy with real institutional backing behind you 2, A research heritage spanning nearly a century that raises the bar on everything you produce. I've worked with Nobel Laureates and many other top minds. 3. The nicest smart people I've encountered anywhere, drawn from all over the world; and that's held true across nearly 30 years 4. Treated like a responsible adult from day one; lots of autonomy and a remarkable breadth of data and research to work with 5. A place where your individuality is an asset, not something to sand down

Cons

1. If you are a person who needs someone else to structure your day and hand you a to-do list, you may struggle; the autonomy is real, and so are the expectations that come with it 2. The pace and intellectual standards can be demanding; this is not a coast-and-collect-a-paycheck environment
