Avoid Gong At All Costs - Senior Account Executive Gong Employee Review

Constant turnover amongst leadership team. New CRO is forcing strong leaders out and bringing in his own people in Utah. Since he/they have started, Gong has become unbelievably toxic. Looking at their previous employers’ Glassdoor reviews, this appears to be consistent with how they run their business. No one is happy and everyone is leaving/interviewing for new positions. I don’t even recognize the place anymore. New comp plans were made out to be this amazing new moneymaker, but they are making it basically impossible to make decent money. basically everyone in the sales org feels duped. On top of that, they keep moving the finish line for path to promotion to go upmarket and leaders fail to answer basic questions about promotion criteria. Certain reps are quite literally handed huge deals while others aren’t, it’s very obvious favoritism. SDR org has been unproductive for years, and it’s only getting worse. If you sign up to be an AE here, just know you’re getting underpaid and will be doing the job of an SDR, AE, CSM… good luck getting help from leadership on big deals, as all of their calendars are booked 100% for weeks. I don’t know any salesperson at Gong who isn’t extremely stressed, unhappy and looking for jobs elsewhere.
