Pros

Henry, the CEO, appears as a nice guy and a hard worker, but given my experience, he seems like a different guy behind the scenes.

Cons

ZoomInfo matched my salary with RSUs (restricted stock units) set to fully vest in 25 months. After 21 months, I transitioned to a new position thanks to a referral from an executive leader. Three months later, and after the third round of layoffs during my short time, my position was eliminated, and I received $0 of the RSUs from my offer letter, one month before I was fully vested. The only thing consistent at ZoomInfo is change. Given the consistent rounds of layoffs and executives ‘leaving’ the company, it honestly felt like your role could be eliminated at any time. There was a lack of quality people leaders, and most managers had serious trust issues with delegating work to individual contributors. This culture likely stems from an unrealistic goal of remaining 40% profitable as the company continues to grow. As soon as that goal is in jeopardy, they eliminate roles. Save yourself the time and avoid working for this company.

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
