Pros

The people The product Company wide recharge days

Cons

Gong is a catfish. They create this facade and over hype themselves on social media and then once you start working there and “unlock reality” you realize it’s actually a dumpster fire. Majority of the sdr org hasn’t been hitting quota for months due to overhiring, raising quotas, and terrible books of business. This has led to morale becoming extremely low and people leaving the company or looking for other new gigs. Many new competitors entering the space and offering better prices/free trials which has resulted in many deals being lost. Leadership is negligent, doesn’t take any accountability, and will gaslight you into thinking you’re not good enough to work there despite performing above the rest of your peers. They claim to want diversity and then don’t take any action into retaining employees from poc backgrounds.

We certainly don't want anyone to feel catfished and are always trying to grow and improve life for our fellow Gongsters. If you are open to it, I'd love to learn more about your experience.
