Pros

Working at DiscoverOrg is certainly not for the meek, or the lazy - everyone here is ambitious, highly intelligent, hungry and extremely hard working. It is a sink or swim type environment to an extent, but once you "earn your stripes" -you truly become part of something special. The passion that everyone shares is undeniable, and it is infectious. The team cares about the company, cares about what we do, cares about the product, and cares about each other. It is the norm that folks will get together after work for happy hour, or go on a weekend camping trip / hike / snowboard trip. It is the kind atmosphere we're everyone pushes themselves, and each other, to be better, and improve the company as a whole. Though competition is built into the backbone of this company, it is what makes DiscoverOrg great to work for and keeps every day dynamic and rewarding. The environment is highly collaborative, brainstorming sessions are the norm, and good ideas/processes actually get implemented from employee input. i.e. your voice is actually meaningful, and does not fall on deaf ears. When you come to work every day, you can sense the growth potential and success around you, and you know you are part of something big. Is not the kind of place where you work for a year or two then move on to the next best thing, once you’re in, you don’t want to leave. Though somewhat picky in who they hire, it is because they are vested in your success and they have every notion you are here for the long haul. Bottom line - if you are looking to come work a 9-5, float by, and collect a paycheck - DiscoverOrg is not for you. If however, you are looking to be at the top of your game, get knocked down a peg only to get that much better, and got some fight in you, it’s a great place to work and grow.

Cons

Cons: The days are long, expectations are high and the work is plentiful, but you know what you're signing up for. At times it can be a bit frat-like, though it is rooted in the pride that the employees have for the company, and the competitive nature.

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
