Pros

Amazing senior leadership with a true vision. The product is amazing, most of the sales team used the tool at a previous company. They have built an awesome team with a great culture of celebrating. The company does invest a lot in its employees with training which is awesome.

Cons

A little too much rule by fear in sales management. They tell most new reps that they are "worried about them" to get people to work harder. There was a lot of guilt-tripping people about taking vacations at the end of the year, even though our CRO took a vacation at the end of a quarter. I have seen more SDR's move to other departments than getting promoted to AE which seems odd as well. Also, too many shout outs for people staying at the office until seven working, just seems unhealthy.

Gong Response

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am certainly happy to see that much of what we are aiming for is coming through in your experience: great set of teammates, a culture that celebrates wins, and the investment in our people through training. I am equally disappointed that we are missing the mark for you in key areas. Motivation through fear is poor leadership and has no place at Gong. Thanks for helping make us better through your feedback. And... good call out on my poor vacation planning. True. :)
