Pros

The culture among analysts is typically supportive and uplifting. The people with whom you work are often kind. The rate of pay is adequate for the work performed. CEO is a business savvy fellow who understands the nature of running a growing and successful business. CFO is a delightful gentleman.

Cons

DiscoverOrg has grown quickly in the last few years and the management teams have had supreme difficulty compensating, with respect to leadership. Research leadership invites employees to give feedback and critiques, but only listen to those suggestions which would not require them to change too much (they will constantly tell you to adapt to change). Additionally, researchers cannot be too curious. Your value with the company is equivalent to your production, unless you hang out with your manager on the weekend, then you can get away with nearly anything (unscheduled coffee breaks, long lunches, smoking marijuana on breaks, etc.) Team managers are forced into micromanaging, though some seem to enjoy it. I have witnessed research leadership instruct analysts to break compliance laws in an effort to net the company more money. It is necessary to get things in writing, as research leadership will say things one day, then claim they never said them. Loyalty means more than effort at DiscoverOrg. Many people I worked with have assured me it is only getting worse and most are looking for new positions. This is a call center position, no matter what you're told. Tiny desk space, loud folks surrounding you, and weekly metric tracking where your goals may change weekly. They are quantity over quality, though they claim to be the opposite.

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

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.
