Gong reviews

While the business and product teams operate smoothly, the R&D culture is lacking in key areas such as quality, accountability, and structured timelines. Expect at least one organizational change per year due to the company’s pod-based structure. This can result in unexpected reassignments to different teams, managers, or projects, which prioritizes short-term business alignment over long-term strategy. The frequent re-orgs lead to shortsighted architecture, duplication of efforts, and challenges in identifying ownership of different responsibilities. Compensation-wise, salary raises are minimal (~3%), and there are no performance-based bonuses. If you're considering joining, negotiate the highest salary you can upfront, as increases later on will likely be small.

Gong cannot just be a place that you work, it has to be your life, your everything or you are no accepted into their "inner circle" environment. Lots of favoritism and if you don't get in at the right time, you will not be set up for success.
