After investing approximately two months in the interview process with the team at Gong, my experience was mixed. Following initial outreach from the hiring manager, it took about two weeks to schedule the recruiter screen, and nearly another month to reconnect with the hiring manager. I was then advanced to the presentation stage, where I was asked—based on a brief, somewhat vague one-page document—to prepare an account plan and conduct a mock discovery call. While I felt I performed well, it seemed the expectations were higher than what was outlined. During the discussion, I was asked what materials had been provided for preparation, but I did not receive any additional feedback or clarity afterward. After the final round, there was a gap of roughly two weeks with no communication. Instead of receiving a follow-up call or message regarding the decision, I was sent a generic feedback request email, which felt misaligned given the time and effort invested throughout the process.

I had a first round interview with Gong for Dublin. Unfortunately, I found the process unprofessional. My interviewer was 5 minutes late, and although that isn't a deal breaker, he didn't even acknowledge arriving late at all. He was also wearing a t-shirt which wasn't in good condition. Again, I don't mind wearing casual clothes to the office when appropriate but normally for calls with external clients/candidates, more formal attire would be welcomed. The interview lasted only 12 minutes and I wasn't asked a lot of questions. It was very by the numbers and I got the impression I was being interviewed as a formality. I wasn't given the chance to even ask questions at the end. There was essentially nothing to be gleaned from this interview from the company's perspective. After this, I didn't hear anything back. I eventually reached out to my interviewer via email to request feedback but was ignored. I found this to be a lack of courtesy. Really disappointing all around from what I understood to be a reputable company
