Pros

- Come in every day feeling the excitement/energy of everyone to grow not only the business but themselves as well - Great product that evolves incredibly fast; constant feedback taken from ourselves and our customers. I myself even throw out ideas and our CTO himself + product teams will always respond and chat with me about where on the roadmap this will be, why I suggested something, etc. Super cool to have a voice/see everyone else's and not just be shouting into a void. - Our leadership, specifically CEO/Amit is constantly trying to get to know employees on a personal level. Offering 45 min walk-n-talks, taking 5-7 people from different teams to dinner, etc. - People are recognized for their contributions and impact the impact they make in & outside of their job functions. Win-as-a-team mindset is so huge and you'll have Marketing leverage ideas from all teams for campaigns, conferences, etc. You can always contribute to other projects outside of your main function. - Management & Leadership welcome all/any form of feedback, create a safe place to be raw/up-front. Everyone owns up to their own opportunities/areas for growth. - Personal mindset/wellness is valued and are always encouraged to take the measures necessary to get our minds right. - Since day one I have felt this is a place I am excited & look forward to being at for the long haul!

Cons

- surprise surprise.... GROWING PAINS! As with a lot of fast growing startups, things change a lot to meet our targets. Being in the Sales Dev Org (one of the fastest growing teams/supporting pipeline), often seems like we feel it the most. When changes to quota, verticals, process, etc are made would like more understanding into the thought process, insights, etc. that support. - Haven't been able to find/hire managers as fast as we are hiring reps. Great that everyone is super helpful with lending a hand to new hires/sharing best practices - but leaders are spread thin & can't always give the attention/support necessary. - Don't have a gym membership/benefit anymore. When it comes to free lunch every day & all the perks, this is one of the benefits I was most excited about & now it's gone. - Movement/promotion from the SDR org into other departments (outside of sales) is still very unclear and waiting on more teams to have headcount for more entry-level roles.

Wow — what a thorough review — thank you!! So many great Pros and so many things that we still have to work on! As I'm sure you know — we definitely live & breathe our operating principals and we're constantly striving to 'Want More.' You've given us a lot of really positive 'Cons' to strive for and I assure you — we hear you and are working on them now! Thanks for being a Gongster and thank you for the 'No Sugar' review : ) - People Team

Pros

I chose to work at Gong after feeling a unique energy during my on-sight interview. I have not regretted my decision at all. The SDR team is full of talented, smart, nice people and the leadership is open and truly cares about the spirit of the company and sticks to their core beliefs.

Cons

As any startup- it can feel like the pressure is on immensely as we grow at a rapid rate.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you love working at Gong and that you care enough to help us improve! We always strive to put our people first and I am glad your experience with leadership reflects they are open and care about our culture! You are right that one style does not fit all, and we want our managers to tailor their approach to help each individual thrive. I encourage you to share your feedback with your leaders or if you feel more comfortable, I am always here for a walk and talk.

Pros

An awesome team that is willing to help you be successful in any way they can; sharing workflows, advice, templates, time, etc. We all win as a team and celebrate both individual & group success -- which is also recognized by the whole company during Lunch and Learns (not the case for other SDR teams/companies I've been at). Great events/programs that employees get to run/own; happy hours, charity, social events (sports leagues, etc) Management/Execs that care about both personal and professional development. All leaders are willing to lend an ear and listen/mentor. Get to come into work with people who have truly become some of my closest friends and we just so happen to be building an amazing product that people love & rave about.

Cons

With such aggressive goals, there is pressure to work more hours/outside of work every so often. Promotion paths outside of sales are not as clear. Taking time for a personal lunch (outside of the office with a friend/or hitting a gym class)

Super insightful and impactful — thank you! And without calling you out... I might have an idea of who you are based on your 'voice' in this review (and because I also started when we all sat in one room!) : ) Keep crushing those quotas — keep crushing those memes (!!) — and keep crushing those sassy statements you make!! Because — we feel the same — "Doing my best work with my best friends" : ) Kindly, Someone who you've shared an email templet with
