Pros

Product is incredible. I recently moved on from Gong after 4.5 years and I deeply miss having access to it so yeah, the product is killer and every org should have it. People are great and I consider many of these brilliant driven folks my good friends. Talented SDR’s and cross functional teams from value engineering, ABM, services / education to legal and security. LEGAL was incredible. How often do we say that? There were times where we’d have dozens of hands on deck to help close business. Pay - there are reps making milli plus commissions, sales is celebrated and presidents clubs were lit. Support from the executive teams to help close business is strong. Gongs CEO Amit is a great person. He’s kind, generous, understanding and truly cares about the success of their clients. The CTO is brilliant and honest; a visionary who will continue to make huge industry impacts through his career. It was an honor to see them create a category.

Cons

Many of the cons are typical for companies in this stage of their existence. Really difficult for sales to keep up with playbooks, messaging, and internal operational changes. It’s exhausting. While this was the most rewarding gig I’ve had, it was also the most challenging resulting in long work days, weekends, and health concerns. If you want to work here make sure you bring your grit. You’ll be required to hustle but the reward will be worth it. Gong will be a billi business soon.
