ZoomInfo reviews

upper management resistance to moving exceptional people to new open positions, no career growth or support at all. Piling projects on top of projects, most individual contributors struggle to maintain focus between shifting priorities daily. no project planning is allowed, everything is dictated from above between meetings, leaving teams struggling to apply agile methods to a hopeless situation. everyone works tons of hours and upper mgmt has taken away abilities to flex hours around family, working from home, taking classes or training. Individual Managers have no power to influence, no ability to schedule or commit or not, only able to raise red flags and do the best with no support. Very sad. Such great potential to be a great place to work.

CEO/ founder didn't know when to let go - not a great leader, really bad at managing. Makes it clear he thinks he's smarter than you. Paranoid, and thinks he can trick people. Lots of issues at the executive level - company is on its 5th engineering leader in 5 years. People get hired for one job, then told the job is changing majorly (sometimes this happens between when the sign the offer letter and when they start), then fired for not being able to do a job they never interviewed for, would never have wanted, and had never done before. CEO plays lots of favorites as well. Company keeps changing direction, reacting instead of planning. Competitors are beating it left and right. Commute is lousy, no matter where you're coming from, and it's not on an public transportation. Exec team is always screaming about "profits!", but refuses to accept that they'd make money if they were willing to invest some - in people, advertising, etc. CEO seems to hate marketers - hires and fires them at will, seems to feel the same way about PR, product managers, etc. Only likes sales people and engineers - the ones who bring him money, and the ones who build the things he can sell. I'm still in touch with friends there, and people are quitting left and right now that the job market's better. I deeply regret exercising my options here - money down the drain.
