Pros

I've worked at ZoomInfo through acquisitions for the past 3 years. In contrast with previous orgs I've worked for, ZI has a sales infrastructure in place to make anybody successful. Usually sales roles will have you "fake it until you make it" or they will reward tenure. At ZoomInfo you can be extremely successful within 3 months of starting the role. You'll know the industry knowledge, product knowledge and sales process within a few months. If you are a creative sales rep that runs your business against the grain, this is rewarded as well. There is no sink or swim at this company, you have some of the most talented software sales people in the world who guide you through this

Cons

As a newer sales rep, this organization is process driven. Because the org has seen so much success selling their way, the expectation is that you too will learn that ZI way of selling. From experience, the more you succeed the more your job is results driven

Pros

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.

Cons

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."
