Pros

The company has a great product. That’s where the accolades end.

Cons

The politics, the hypocrisy and the lack of compassion towards team members. For example, a VP was fired over Christmas and our team sat through countless meetings about changes but not once did they ever speak the former-VP’s name, announce to us that they were let go or offer any kind words about their time at the company. It was like they had disappeared that leader and pretended they never existed. That executive was replaced with a new leader with zero experience in the field. The general consensus among the team was that the C-suite hired someone who would follow directions, not push back. Once, we received an email from the CEO explaining that if we wanted to do well, we’d need to put in long hours. The whole email made it clear that he expected us to work outside of our 9-5 for success. It was framed as being a Red Sox player, not a Pirate. Little did we know, that would foreshadow a host of layoffs, all of which had no basis in performance. These layoffs were enacted after months of direct managers telling us not to worry about losing our jobs. The people let go ranged from directors to managers to individual contributors. The biggest reason for this review is the way those layoffs were handled. No one was told what was going on, the fact that this was a restructure was never mentioned to the people being fired. Now, months later, they are re-hiring for the same roles they terminated a few months back. Bottom-line: ZoomInfo does not care about it’s people, they care about getting what they need in the moment and moving on with no remorse once they change course. Don’t drink the KoolAid.

Great place to work with a lot of forward thinking leaders to learn from. Really ahead of other companies on implementing AI in the business. Moves much faster with less bureaucracy than other similarly sized companies

Thank you for the kind words. This genuinely means a lot to us. We're proud of the caliber of leaders here and the pace at which we're embedding AI into how we work, so it's great to hear that comes through day-to-day. You're right that the macro environment is presenting challenges – we won't pretend otherwise. What we can control is continuing to move faster and smarter than our peers, and feedback like yours is a reminder of why the culture we've built is a competitive advantage in itself. We're glad you're part of it. – Jennifer Creticos, ZoomInfo Chief Business Officer

Pros

Good pay, good benefits and great office.

Cons

Poor hiring decisions, recent layoffs eliminated mostly remote employees because they are prioritizing in office employees, especially with recent investment in office. RIF was not at all based on performance which meant that some in office employees who don't know what they are doing got to keep their job. You have to suck up to management to get promoted and a lot of really good reps leave as a result of constant micro-management.

Thank you for the feedback, and we're glad the pay, benefits, and office experience worked well for you. To be clear, though, the recent restructure was not targeted at remote employees. It reflected a strategic decision to restructure some of our sales and support operations as we shift how we approach certain segments of the business, both in terms of personnel and platform. The people affected were valued contributors and we recognize their work helped make ZoomInfo what it is today. The suggestion that in-office employees who stayed "don't know what they're doing" simply isn't accurate. Additionally, we go hard at the end of every month (which is true across SaaS sales broadly) but would push back on the characterization of the culture. Our employee engagement team works hard to make that sprint enjoyable, with in-office lunches and activities. Sales is a high-pressure environment by nature, and we're proud of the culture we've built around it. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, even where we see it differently. – Stephen Antuna, ZoomInfo SVP of Account Management
