Pros

There is a prevailing drive here. Few, if any, of my colleagues lack in their drive for personal success, and they all take DicoverOrg's success to heart. It's a remarkable environment in which to work. DiscoverOrg is very competitive, but equally very nurturing. Basically, "work hard and we'll do everything we can to help you grow and become stronger and better at your craft." I've been in sales for a long time and I've never experienced anything like it. From the very top down, and I mean at the CEO level, everyone is accessible, everyone is visible, and no-one's ego is so great that they are unwilling to jump in and get their hands dirty. Plus, there's tons of opportunity for personal and professional growth, with little to no drama. It's an extremely special environment.

Cons

I don't know that I have any legitimate "cons", per se. I have things I'd change if I were in charge, but that's different to me. It's a great place to work, with a company-wide drive for success and growth. Nothing bad about that at all. I only wish I had found DiscoverOrg a decade ago.

Your headline title says it all, and we couldn't agree more! DiscoverOrg has an amazing group of driven and motivated people that are out to succeed as a team. And when we're not at work, we're having fun traveling, biking, hiking, working out, going to yoga, trading baby pics, or going out on the town together. Regarding unlimited PTO, this really is in our opinion a benefit for the company and not employees (see this article on Inc. http://www.inc.com/gene-marks/why-unlimited-paid-time-off-is-bad-for-your-employees.html). For example, with "unlimited" PTO you can't cash out unused PTO that you haven't taken, which we offer all employees each December. So instead of gimmicks we're doing more to provide useful benefits, including increasing our PTO for many employees in 2017 as well as giving all employees 4 paid sick days at year starting in 2017.

Pros

The people. My peers in marketing are experienced, fun, and whip-smart. Colleagues, even those long gone, have continued to be supportive of one another in ways I've not seen at other companies. The networking is amazing. Although it may also be trauma bonding.

Cons

Marketing is always the scapegoat here and will always get hit hard when there are layoffs. In early summer 2025 they laid off nearly the entire product marketing team - from 26 people to 2- and "replaced" them with AI. Morale never recovered, the messaging has never been clearly communicated since then, and the worst part is CEO Henry Schuck went on a podcast to brag about it. Talk about out of touch. In the entire time I worked there, marketing leadership was sorely lacking. There has never been clear direction. This is still a problem with the new CMO, who is both heavily involved at a micro level and yet opaque about important things the whole department should know. And now the constant trimmings... Er, layoffs... no -- "exits" -- have gotten even more extreme. We're just wholesale replacing standard, strategic marketing positions and even teams with agencies. Which is quite a look for a billion dollar company. It might be worth it to work here for 6 months or a year if you can manage for the experience and connections, but the constant strategic switch-ups and looming inevitability of layoffs will wear you down. And soon you'll be looking for an escape route so you can say "you can't lay me off, I quit."
