Pros

Excellent product, best in class, by far. With the widespread adoption of AI though, revenue intelligence might become comoditized soon Great benefits - lunch, recharge days, company events Fast-track opportunities for BDRs aiming to move into AE roles. Some genuinely talented colleagues.

Cons

Pay is below industry standards. I personally took a significant pay cut (-€40k/year) to join. Mandatory 3 days/week in-office, with additional days required at EOM/EOQ. Key decisions are made in the US, often leaving EMEA without proper alignment or support. For example, US books of business generate 40% more revenue, yet targets and book sizes are the same. High-pressure environment with gaslighting normalized, especially in sales. Reps are blamed for systemic issues, despite many being top performers in previous roles. Constant organizational changes—roles, segmentation, and targets shift yearly, creating instability and frustration. Favoritism and corporate politics are prevalent.

Pros

(Product) everyone should have Gong (People) 90% of the people are great (Politics) If you are wise enough to play the game, you can go far with Gong.

Cons

(Product) Gong isn't the only option out there anymore. While the best option, people aren't going to spend 4x for a few extra bells and whistles. You can't keep blaming the macro economic environment for lost deals to competitors anymore. (People) the other 10% watch out, it's cut throat. The OGs are willing to put up with the game because they have shares to vest but I promise, once vested, bye bye. New leaders don't know what they are doing, and they arent afraid to throw people under the bus to save themselves. Watch out for HR especially, I've been at gong long enough to see how they cover their mess up and blame others. (Politics) Start up to 7B valuation comes with a ton of politics. People are getting tired of it and are losing trust in leadership, hence the turnover of senior employees and newer employees.

Thanks for taking the time to post your feedback. I was happy to read your praise for our product and our marketing and sales teams (I couldn’t agree more), but it was difficult to hear that you felt micro-managed and pressured daily. Empowerment is a cornerstone of our culture. Employees shouldn’t feel micro-managed and pressured. We want employees to feel autonomous, where they have the freedom to identify and work through problems by themselves – and ask for help when they need it. That’s how growth happens. I’m truly sorry that wasn’t your experience. Sandi, CPO
