My friend recommended me to the company and said the process is fast. However, it took them more than a week to respond. Then, the recruiter talked to me. After 8 days of waiting, I pinged them and they said they were still talking to the hiring managers. 4 days later, another HR coordinator set up a meeting with the group leader, which lasted 30 minutes. 2 days later, I received a short email saying 'thank you and good bye'. I think Gong should be more efficient and should not start the hiring process if they do not intend to hire anyone.

We began with a quick chat with HR to set up the interviews. The first interview was a 30-minute Zoom call with a team lead. It was mostly getting to know each other, with a few general Java questions. The second interview was a longer, hour-and-a-half in-person technical interview with two people. Then, there was an hour-long interview with the group manager, followed by a final hour-long HR interview.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I had a chat with a super enthusiastic recruiter who told me about Gong and we set up a 30-minute phone interview. It was pretty chill, mostly asking about my background and some basic CS stuff. A few days later, the same recruiter set up a longer Zoom interview with a tech lead. This one was tougher, covering a lot of ground, but the interviewer seemed genuinely interested in the big picture and wasn't trying to trick me. Then, I had another technical interview that felt about the same difficulty as the last one. Finally, I had a standard HR interview with the recruiter, covering personal qualities and interests. The whole experience with Gong was really positive and made job hunting feel less daunting; they seem like a great, inclusive company with a fun vibe.
