Pros

-I wish there were pro's I had one manager that was really nice. Unfortunately I had 6 managers in the 6 months I worked.

Cons

-They made goal three times as high and call volume impossible, would micromanage every hour to make sure you were making the calls, and if you didnt hit goal they got rid of you with a PiP-they tell you the Pip is for your improvement-it's not, LOOK immediately. - Before I quit I had 6 different managers in the short time -I messaged the VP to thank him-never said a word back to me, but creepily looked at my linkedin NUMEROUS times -I have never worked for a more poor organization, was hired to be in office one day they ramped it up to four days and went back to remote capabilities (again this was a tactic that got 4 people to quit on my team) - I had a mom with 2 young kids on my team they put on a plan, she was crying every night. - they took away unlimited PTO and they took over Overtime capabilities -THE OTE IS A SCAM!!

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

Cons

Difficult macro environment for the company and industry

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
