Pros

+CEO is top notch +Product is best in class (albeit losing ground to competitors) +Company is growing and scaling again

Cons

+No culture at all, especially in CS (filter reviews for Customer Success and you'll see how poor it has been lately) +Extreme process oriented to the point of overkill. Internal meetings galore. +CS leaders seem more anxious than their reps leading to a fear based model and constant second guessing of your work and if you're doing a good job. +Targets constantly move, changes constantly happen (while this is normal in the start up world it seems like there's no clear vision or prioritization of work/life bandwidth) +Growth conversations and actually developing as an employee and human take a backseat to ensuring your renewals come through or whatever leadership tells you is on fire currently

While we recognize there’s always room for improvement, we’ve made significant strides this year in clearly communicating our goals, vision, and the rationale behind changes. Our goal is to provide Gongsters with the information they need without adding unnecessary pressure, and we apologize if that hasn’t been your experience. -Suni Lobo
