Do they get Earl Grey AND cream cakes with the chief pilot after that or is it a case of that's what you're their for laddie (or lassie these days)
How it usually works - file a (short) report for the go-around, go home or do next sector as required, then in the next day or two hope you don't get a phone call because the Flight Data recorder screening has flagged something the management want to talk to you about. That's about as warm and fuzzy as it gets.

Re: raising the gear, agree with other thoughts here, there's a danger of the SOP monkey triggering something unfortunate in circumstances like this, yanking the gear up straight away in reponse to a positive rate, even on what looks like a non-windshear go-around, might not always be the best course of action...c.f. Emirates not that long ago......out of fashion I know but Airmanship and all that.
