Pros

ZI tends to be a need to have, so you can sell it.

Cons

Many. 1) Mandatory return to office is terrible. In a "what have you done for me lately?" culture and no work/life balance, now they ask that we spend hours commuting and we can't get our work done in traffic 2) If you were hired remotely and want to keep that, you won't be considered for promotions if they can hire someone that goes into an office. I've seen this happen to my colleagues 3) None of your feedback will go anywhere. We don't provide manager reviews. They are free to behave poorly without consequences even if you go to HR

Thank you for leaving a response and are concerned with your experience to date. It’s true that our sales culture can be demanding but we are making great strides in our learning and developing offerings to ensure our employees thrive and can find a great work-life balance. And because we want to hear from our employees, like you, and understand what you need to be successful we recently launched the ZI Voice employee engagement survey (we hope you participated as your candid and anonymous feedback will be taken seriously) The insights will enable our Senior Leadership team to understand your views and take action.

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

Cons

Difficult macro environment for the company and industry

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
