Pros

-Fast paced -Good people -Fantastic Tech Stack w -Surrounded by a lot of talented people

Cons

A complete shell of what ZoomInfo once was. During 2021-22 the company was the premier player in the space. The IPO was very exciting and a massive milestone but things quickly changed. A massive disconnect formed between CEO and business development, useless “innovation” and no clear angle for our teams to provide useful meetings for revenue. Senior BD lost focus on revenue and switched to empty KPIs and metrics to fulfill their own numbers. During this, our competitors filled gaps and caught up to us and even passed in many ways. I would highly consider what sort of sales environment you thrive in before looking at this company. -Pay dropped fast below industry standard -Boiler Room Sales -0 work/life balance if you want to get promoted -People are jumping ship faster than ever Very unfortunate, hopefully they can’t turn it around..

Pros

ZoomInfo has an incredible company culture that truly stands out-- even working remotely, you feel connected and part of something bigger. The company has a strong focus on being a leader in its space and is constantly innovating, which keeps the work exciting and meaningful. There is a genuine willingness to let ideas and concepts flourish, and employees are empowered to contribute in real ways. I am coming up on four years here, which speaks for itself-- this is a place where you can grow, get promoted quickly, and build a real career. The development resources are outstanding, including McKinsey Leadership programs, internal leadership courses, and LinkedIn Learning. Managers are supportive and invested in your success which makes showing up to work exciting

Cons

At times, communication between departments can be a challenge at the individual contributor level, which can make cross-functional collaboration feel a bit siloed. Additionally, there is still work to be done around diversity in leadership-- increasing representation of people of color and women in leadership roles would make an already great culture even stronger.
