I applied online. I interviewed at Gallup (Irvine, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
The interview was exactly like the comments provided. Thanks for all of the input! Rapid fire personality test like questions with follow up question to provide example. Quick paced interview. Flowed well but the interview was not like anything I have previously experienced. Without the feedback from Glassdoor, I would not have been adequately prepared. Thanks again.

Interview
I applied online and completed the talent assessment. A week later, I received an email saying they were excited to learn more about me, and provided a number I should call to set up an interview. Three days later--fully prepared, thanks to the information posted here--I spoke with an interviewer. Contrary to other comments on this site, the woman was friendly and animated, explaining the process completely--i.e. she could not interpret questions for me, although she would be happy to repeat them.
The interview was intense. The questions were rapid-fire and sometimes ambiguous, which is the genius of the process. I had no time to think about what the "right"answer might be, had I been so inclined. It took approximately an hour, after which the interviewer explained that I would be contacted by a recruiter within three to five days, whether I would be moving on in the process or not. Three days later, I received a nicely worded rejection in line with their overall approach to strengths-based hiring. "Unfortunately, at this time we do not have an available role that would take full advantage of your strengths."
I am extremely disappointed, because I have followed Gallup for years. I believe in their approach and I had hoped to be working with their models and tools--the very tools that eliminated me from consideration. Upon reflection, I have to agree that my honest answers to the questions did demonstrate that I wasn't a fit for that role. Now I believe even more in their process. Ironic, isn't it? My best advice is to be truthful and trust the process. It works.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you the same, better, or worse off than you were a year ago?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gallup in May 2015
Interview
I had three phone interviews with Gallup. Each lasted approximately 45 minutes. Strictly Behavioural Questions. This place is a joke. Their questions are more so data collection for research than an actual job interview. Please read other Glassdoor post about this company before considering doing a second interview with Gallup.
