Pros

I had the pleasure of being recruited by Amanda Esquivel and after being in Sales for 10+ years, I have to say that it was hands-down the best interview experience I have ever been a part of. Below are a few of the reasons why: - Amanda was genuinely interested in getting to know me and took the time to learn more about me personally in addition to my past work experience and did an excellent job mapping that to the core operating principles. - Preparation: I was extremely well equipped with videos and other materials that did an excellent job of describing the company, role and culture. Also, Amanda took the time to do prep calls with me before each step of the process to make sure I was fully prepared - something that is RARE from my experience. - Encouragement and Advice: I felt very supported throughout the process with Amanda rooting me on and was also directed to a couple of current employees to learn more from them.

Cons

Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about the interview experience itself.

Pros

Talented coworkers and disruptive challenger brand Strong roster of existing install customers in the technology vertical

Cons

Gong has massively overhired in Enterprise and Strategic accounts in an effort to grow top-line revenue and meet ever-expanding board pressure to grow into an astronomical valuation. The only reps who are "succeeding" have been working on the same accounts and deals for YEARS and instead of recognizing this, Gong continues to change processes frequently, cut territories smaller, raise quotas, and hire more reps. Many hires over the last 12 months have yet to close a single new business deal and in the Enterprise business, you have to pass your customers off after landing an initial footprint, leaving the growth and success to a customer account team. Outside of multiyear cycles coming in, nobody is hitting plan. Morale is incredibly low and many peers have left or are planning to leave for greener pastures. We are constantly subjected to new training and processes and measured to complete learning paths in Lessonly as if we are first-time reps versus seasoned sellers. To round everything out, there has been increased competition in the category from former partners and customers alike and many are giving away extended trials or free offering of their product alongside renewals. Icing on the cake: We have unlimited time off but nobody takes any time because the goals are so insane and all activity is monitored closely. We also do not have a company match on 401k.

As you might imagine, it was hard for me to read this review. I care deeply about the experience for each and every Gongster, and building an environment where people can thrive and do their best work is my goal as a leader. I am sorry to your experience was not this. I realize that you may not be up for a conversation but sure hope that you are. Always happy to talk about how we can be better. - Ryan Longfield
