Pros
I feel very fortunate that I was able to land a job at Gong. While it's a startup, it feels a bit more mature in the sense that the leadership team is seasoned, there is direction at the company, and the recruiting & onboarding process were top-notch. That being said, it is a startup so there is always a laundry list of things to do. I've been very impressed so far with the caliber of people they've hired which is extremely important to me in a company. I also highly believe in the product we're selling and think the possibilities are endless for the future of the company. With COVID they've set up virtual events to keep people engaged (workouts, bingo night, cooking classes, etc), and they have also blocked off at least 2 days at the start of every quarter for people to take off to encourage employees to recharge. Overall I'm very happy to be here and can't wait for what's in store for this company!
Cons
- High turnover on the sales team - Hard to stay connected to the company with the remote work environment, but that would be the case anywhere right now - While they give employees a couple days off at the start of every quarter to "recharge", other than that is doesn't feel like people are taking PTO. Could just be due to COVID (where are people going to travel to right now?), but it still sets a specific tone whether its intentional or not
