Pros

quickly will move through SDR org if you set your mind to it. Outbound SDRs get paid insanely well, better than 80% of AEs. Easy value prop but way more expensive and competitors are eating our lunch

Cons

AE comp is unfair in my opinion. Really low base rate and 90% of deals end up being discounted which hurts it even more.

Pros

There is so much growth and opportunity within the company! I feel like our company is so "with it" with guides and new tools being brought in (especially now in the age of AI) that support our explosive improvements in both short and long term goals. The company has supported me with any resource I've needed and keeps me excited about "what's next". I feel like I become better each day and am so grateful for my team's support when going through anything difficult as well. I feel cared for and appreciated.

Cons

The IT/software industry comes with more volatility in markets so while that's not the most comfortable, I know that consistency and the good actions we take every day is what makes me and our company successful in the long-run.

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.

ZoomInfo Response

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
