Excitement but with WLB

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's not your standard software job, you're at the forefront of innovation and you can feel it. The sales team who share our office also use the product themselves and you can really see the impact on the end user, and it's a strong motivator. The 3 days in office policy (you can choose which) is a perfect balance IMO. Brilliant and nice people all around - and above you.

Cons

The company is transitioning from a startup to a well-established market leader, which does come with challanges for engineers. It's interesting if you like a challenge, but it's not for everyone.

Great Product - Messy Leadership

Customer success manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great product, working with customers who are true fans of the work

Cons

No desire for feedback or changes for the better. Senior leadership is more interested in doing what they think should be done than hearing what the reality of what it’s like with clients. Any opposition is punished and people are forced out. Processes change and there’s no real support to enable.

Great Product, Toxic Culture - Leadership Issues Make It a Hard Place to Stay

Director, sales enablement

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
