Where Innovation, Integrity, and People Come First - Senior Director ZoomInfo Employee Review

ZoomInfo embraces new technologies and is willing to invest in modern tools and innovation. Strong performance and achievements are recognized and rewarded, creating opportunities for career growth. Senior leadership is highly accessible and transparent to work with, making it easy for employees to share ideas and feel heard. The company also operates in a fast-paced environment with no shortage of impactful work, making it a great place for people who enjoy staying challenged and continuously learning.

If I had to point to one thing ZoomInfo could do better, it would be the healthcare plans. They don't fully meet my personal needs, although I'm sure they work well for many others. Offering a more comprehensive range of plan options would make an already strong benefits package even better.

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.

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."
