Pros

1. Currently, no pros team is under huge pressure. 2. All Pros and Benefits were stripped out from the team. 3. Shift, Cabs, and shift allowance were gone for most of the employees. 4. Best part of Pros is they threaten some of the employees they are going to strip their benefits in the name of performance.

Cons

After the recent recruitment of Managers and TLs, the team is under heavy pressure. All the benefits were stripped from employees and shifts were changed without team knowledge and he's giving orders to the team to obey for it. The senior manager doesn't care about employees and their opinions. He's behaving kind of a dictator. He doesn't care about the process and doesn't know the process and his goons as well. They don't know how the Product or Software company will work. They trying to bend the Zoominfo rule and policy for their own selfish. Trying to implement their BPO style of work. Zoominfo will give first preference to their employee and but now these goons implement all torturing kinds of work. Whatever we ask they will say cost-cutting, management decision and culture. The Senior Manager trying to cut the Indian team from the US management and trying to run it in BPO style and torturing employees. If no one looks into this issue soon most of the employees in the Data Research team will leave and it will become Zoominfo BPO and these goons will do typical worst Indian management. These guys are not fit for the organization and soon they will spoil Zoominfo reputation.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. As a growing team, we are bound to have challenges, but all our leaders and team members are receptive to feedback and we are ready to grow and get better together. We measure engagement monthly with pulse polls, and we have an annual engagement survey that we deploy to the whole organization that informs our yearly culture planning. From this survey, each manager is given an overview of their department-level results as well as coaching on how to both make improvements and leverage their strengths. Regarding benefits, Zoominfo provides the best in class benefits to its employees. There are changes happening always in those policies to keep up the parity between various teams and align to industry standards related to their job profiles. We aim to build high-functioning teams with empowered individuals who feel confident and supported in hitting their numbers. I’m disappointed that your experience is not positive. My door is always open to discuss any feedback. Please reach out to me if you have any additional thoughts on how we can do better. Venky Ramasubramanian, Vice President, Engineering and India lead

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."
