Gallup Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Got an email from HR to set up phone interview. It was a 60-min interview with around 50 questions asked in a rapid fashion. Your answers will be recorded, and the interviewer will not explain or discuss anything with you. Most of the questions were similar to the ones that were asked when you filled out the online application, so just make sure they are consistent.

Interview Details – I was contacted by Gallup for a 30-45 minute first telephone interview which went very well. I then was told at the end of that interview that they would call to set an additional interview. I went through the 60 minutes of the second phone interview a few days ago and got a rejection letter today.

These interviews are tough. You are asked rapid fire questions and must answer off the top of your head. The second interview was more difficult than the first because every question was followed with "Give an example". After 40 minutes of this it begins to wear you down a bit. If I could do it over I would have written down multiple work scenarios corresponding to things like leadership, assisting others, etc.

The bottom line is that they put you through an awful lot for a simple face to face interview. I really dislike that they provide zero feedback as to why they didn't select you, especially when you have invested that much time in the process.

Interview Details – Applied through the company web site. The application process requires you to complete a detailed questionnaire which are aimed at personality assessment.

Received a phone call to schedule for a 1 hour personality assessment interview Most of the questions were similar to that of the questions asked during the application process. The HR expects you to give real time experiences as examples.

The next round was a telephonic technical screen. Two people were interviewing me, the questions were pretty straight forward. I was told that if I make through this round, then I would be called in for a in-person interview at their campus in Omaha.

Unfortunately, I couldn't make to the next round.

Interview Details – After the phone calls, there is a one day interview in the Chicago office. Be prepared to answer questions about every part of your career.

Interview Details – 20 questions. Majority of these questions are just open questions. They want to know your experiences to handle tough tasks, your sales experiences, your problem solving experiences and your communication skills.

Interview Details – There was an online applicaton, which was not very extensive in the area of employment history. It did include a talent survey. Next I received an email inviting me to do a phone interview. The phone interview went exactly how other reviews on this page said it would. As long as you are aware that the interviewer doesn't interact with you beyond asking the question and maybe saying "tell me more" or "give me an example", the process is not unnerving or cold. The questions ask about your level of motivation, how you think people should be paid, whether or not you are a leader, how to close a deal, is it better to have a one time big sale or a long term customer at a lower profit, name your biggest accomplishment, etc.... I interview a few days ago. I expect to hear whether I have a second phone interview or not in a few days. If I do, and it goes well, the next time is the in person interview. I have to select whether or not I got an offer, and still waiting is not an option....so for now, I am going to select yes...positive thinking ;-)

Interview Details – I applied online through the Gallup web portal. Submitted my CV online and immediately take an online personality assessment (40 min). A couple of hours later, I received an email requesting me to schedule a follow up interview. The 2nd stage: phone interview for another assessment. It's a competency based interview. You are expected to give specific examples from your work history.

The questions, I compiled from this sight are SPOT ON. Practice them and you will know a good bit of what you will be asked. The interviewer gives no feedback on your answers. Same as all the other comments on here. No surprises. study these questions and you will be prepared for the competency based questions. Which doesn't mean you necessarily have the right personality to work for Gallup!
An insider told me that GALLUP doesn't do case studies for consulting roles. They focus on hiring people who fit a certain mold - their culture.

Interview Details – I completed the online assessment like everyone said. It took about an hour's worth of personality questions. A week later I got a call for a phone interview. There were 60 rapid-fire personality questions which took 45 minutes. They told me I'd hear something in 3-5 days. Today they called me for another interview but I told them I'd call back after my final exam. Wish me luck

Interview Details – Very strange first interview conducted like a structured research interview, the interview could not respond to any questions or comments, and the whole thing was recorded. Now, even if I apply for other positions, my same application and recording are used to evaluate me. It's like they assume you wouldn't tailor the interview/application to the position.
