Pros

None I can think of right now

Cons

Engineering leadership with: - lack of focus - constant shift of priorities - micromanagement - feedback are not welcomed - poor learning investment - not follow through with their "promises" I could go on and on. Enough to say that if you are looking for money without having a say, or opportunity to collaborate and grow then consider ZoomInfo. But if you are serious about a career I would never recommend this company.

ZoomInfo Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Since 2020, we have nearly tripled our workforce, acquired seven other companies, launched marketing and recruiting platforms, made massive improvements to our sales platform, gained literally thousands of new customers, and expanded our operations to four other countries. And we are showing no signs of slowing down. We are innovating with speed and changing the game as we do it. This means we have multiple priorities at all times and have to execute and strategize simultaneously. We work hard and have to stay light on our feet so that we can respond quickly to market trends and customer needs. We have numerous feedback channels including one-on-ones, leadership roundtables, pulse polls, and surveys. I have heard this feedback and personally prioritized learning and development for Engineering, especially managers. Being part of the engineering team at ZoomInfo is challenging, but if you are willing to push yourself to get 1% better every day, I believe you can grow more personally and professionally at ZoomInfo than at almost any other SaaS company. Thank you again for your thoughts, and I wish you the best of luck in your next role. – Nir Keren, ZoomInfo Chief Technology Officer

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."
