Gallup reviews

It is true that Gallup is a tough company to get in to. It's not about asking the question of "could I do that job?" it is asking the question, "will I be set up for excellence within the role?" The traditional corporate model of moving "up the corporate ladder" does not necessiarly hold true at Gallup. Gallup hires talented people into a role with the premise that they will stick with that role for quite awhile. HOWEVER that does not mean that there are not systems built in for both personal and professional growth - because there are. Why would you take an excellent manager out of his or her role and make them a sales person when their talent is all about managing people? There IS opportunity for personal and professional growth - it's just not the "change to a new role to move up the ladder" model.

Gallup gives great advice to other companies on how to create great places to work and it is sad to see that they take so little of their own advice. Like I mentioned before, your entire future with this company depends on whether or not people like you. If you are well liked then it doesn't really matter what your job performance is. They keep partners for years who haven't sold anything just because upper management likes them. However, on the flip side, if you are not well thought of by everyone then it doesn't matter how good of a job you do- you will be let go. This company also shoots from the hip and will make a decision and then run with it for a few months and then completely change direction again. That can be very frustrating. They are just dealing with growing pains while also feeling the hurt of the economy. Lay offs are projected to grow.
