Pros

Good learning opportunities. Good science, and IP.

Cons

Total internal dysfunction, where people spend most of their day navigating the drama and uncertainty while fighting to manage their threat state caused by the disconnect between the espoused values and teachings and the experienced internal reality. The environment borders on abuse where people need to petition for their value and fight for fairness in the workplace. There is not a culture of acknowledgement or respect of the individual and their contribution. "Leadership" relies on the talent of the few front staff staff who actually have a work ethic, because they are complete devoid of any. The current regional manager operates completely without any basic sense of authenticity, professional business experience or basic intelligence. Put in place only as a result of seemly effective sycophantic, political playing and riding on the shirt tails of the hard work of others; attaching to success, then quickly distancing from failure. Authenticity, hard work, commitment, dedication; these things are not understood or valued by management.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s unfortunate that your experiences do not match what we hear from so many of our others associates in our Sydney office. Our office’s high engagement results and lengthy average tenure tell a different story than yours. We have a strong sense of collaboration and a feeling of family in Sydney, and it’s an exciting time for us as we are experiencing unprecedented growth in Australia and the region. We credit our hardworking, dedicated and committed associates for helping us achieve and surpass our goals, helping to solidify our strengths-based, engagement-focused culture. Best of luck in your future career.

Pros

When I was an undergraduate student in a public administration course in 1985 I was advised that frequent career changes were the new norm in society. That I would more than likely have many jobs over the span of my career. It turns out that this was half-correct. At Gallup I have had many "jobs" in a consistent and rewarding career that has run 30 years so far. This is an organization that is built on intelligence, research-based counsel, independence, talent, strengths and, ultimately, a respect for entrepreneurial thinking. It has a very flat structure, and leadership is available and open to insights and suggestions. Your growth is really only limited by your imagination and commitment to driving your career day in and day out. One of the great opportunities that Gallup provides employees is the possibility to be an owner of the company. You can have skin in the game from an early stage in your career. There are even programs that support you to take on ownership within the 401K and independently. You can really build meaningful wealth through this program. Benefits are very good in general. We have evolved as a company and continue to offer more and more competitive benefits each year.

Cons

It depends how you read this, but, you have to work hard and be open to change, learning, renewing, and evolving to stay relevant. This is not a negative for me, but it is not a place you can come work and expect your annual salary to just grow. It is a place that is constantly changing and you need to be flexible enough to do the same. You get out of the place what you put into the place.
