Pros

* One of the best products I have ever seen and used in my career - such incredible value to customers, innovative, and works!! * Founders are great people and care about the culture and people. Very smart. * Gong, a couple years ago, was a great place to work.

Cons

* Some bad people as leaders have been brought in - not just bad leaders, bad people. * Unethical in the way the new leadership operate the business and how they speak about people, calling them "Losers" as an example on a public call. * Salesforce/Tableau 2.0 - bringing in all leadership from Tableau and very very arrogant yet do not add much value. They are destroying the culture. * Letting go of people non stop, yet trying to hide it. Lots of laying off and firing, by surprise. * People quitting in large numbers. * Destroyed the morale and culture within the company. * When interviewing here, simple LinkedIn search can show you the people who are gone/left within the last 12 months - it's a high number. *Upmarket sales, very challenging to hit quota or even come close - few people who have blatant bias and favor from leadership given opportunities.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. It’s great to hear about your passion for the product and the value it delivers to customers, and that you had a positive experience with our founders. You’re right that they – and our entire executive leadership team – care deeply about building a culture of inclusivity, where people can bring their authentic selves to work every day, are treated respectfully, empowered (and trusted), and given growth opportunities. I’m sorry that wasn’t your experience. We’re always striving to do better, and I’m here to listen if you have additional feedback or suggestions. Feel free to email me anytime: ryan.longfield@gong.io. Ryan Longfield CRO
