Pros

The product is truly one of the best in the industry. I’m yet to meet anyone who says they’d rather chose a competitor over Gong.

Cons

The biggest issues stem from the marketing org. Priorities shift constantly based on MLT without a clear direction. In just the past two years, there have been four CMOs and three VPs of PMM, each bringing in their own approach and expecting the team to reset. As a result, the PMM function has no stability or clear vision. The leadership is kind enough to acknowledge that the marketing team has been through “trauma” with the changing leadership but don’t do anything to make up for it. The current VP operates more like an order taker than a leader establishing a framework for success. Turnover has been high, with strong talent leaving and new hires left scrambling without guidance. The Agents launch was a prime example—feedback during the retro (shared company-wide) explicitly called out employee mental health, given the unrealistic deadlines and expectations from leadership. Long hours, weekend work, and late nights are treated as the norm. That might be easier to swallow if compensation made up for it, but salaries are noticeably below market.

Pros

* Gong has an amazing product that delivers real value to customers. * Some smart, passionate individual contributors doing their best despite the environment. * Brand recognition is strong in the sales tech space.

Cons

Toxic, blame shifting culture: Leadership is not transparent, and bad behavior is tolerated at the top. Lack of leadership accountability: The VP of Enablement avoided conflict, failed to define roles, and let dysfunction fester across old and new team members. No swimlanes: No clear expectations for who owns what, leading to chaos and burnout. Churn-and-burn sales culture: Sales is purely about hitting your number, with no focus on developing talent or supporting reps long term. High turnover: So many talented people left because they were set up to fail. Disappointing leadership: Poor management alignment across Sales, Enablement, and Ops, and no support for building a sustainable culture.

Pros

Growing Tech Company Great CEO Many great leaders Great product when it worked Many great employees

Cons

A couple of the worst managers I've ever worked around. Micromanaged. Several times a day KPI's were sent out. Often the KPIs weren't showing the correct numbers because the product wasn't working. My previous job was extremely demanding, however, this was more draining because of the constant hounding No praise, You did something good? expect to be asked how you can do better with no positive feedback. The product was extremely glitchy even for employees. Almost every day there were issues. When it worked, I loved it. Asked to complete tasks while on PTO several times May or may not have time for lunch even if you're working 8-5 ( No understanding if you're not hitting KPIs, even if you're getting OPPs) AEs for the most part had a horrible relationship with the SDR side (this can be typical but still frustrating) Had no idea what value Managers, directors, or VPs brought. Managers felt more like babysitters, a few were great coaches, and the others babysat Recruiters oversold how many reps were attaining quota by a long shot We preached to other companies to stop "spraying and praying" by using Gong- We were told to spray and pray Some managers were very critical but they didn't have the skill sets needed to help.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your positive comments on our CEO and teams, but it's disheartening to hear about your feelings of micro-management and daily pressure. Empowerment is central to our culture; we trust and aim to give autonomy to employees, allowing them to navigate challenges while seeking support when needed. Skill development and fostering growth are also core tenets of our culture, we invest in leadership enablement so managers have the tools they need to coach effectively but apologize if this hasn’t been your experience. We are always looking for ways to improve; if you have additional feedback, please reach out directly if you feel comfortable. - Laura Wilson (Intierm CPO)
