I had a really positive experience interviewing at Gong. The overall process was pretty straight-forward and smooth. Rae, the recruiter, was extremely communicative and helpful throughout - always making herself available to answer any questions I had along the way.

The interview starts off normally with a series of meetings with C-level executives but ends in a puzzling manner. After completing the rounds of interviews, they require the candidate to prepare a case presentation for a panel of employees who role-play those same executives you spoke with earlier. When I questioned why this step was necessary (it seems redundant), I was told it was to help evaluate me as a candidate and assess my executive presence. This seemed quite odd as I thought that's what the initial executive interviews were supposed to achieve. The presentation requirements were also unrealistic as they expected 10-12 slides to be presented within 20 minutes. Lastly, the candidate was expected to answer questions for 25 minutes "in and out of character" although I'm not sure what that means as I was not planning to play a character other than who I am for this position.
