Pros

Henry, the CEO, appears as a nice guy and a hard worker, but given my experience, he seems like a different guy behind the scenes.

Cons

ZoomInfo matched my salary with RSUs (restricted stock units) set to fully vest in 25 months. After 21 months, I transitioned to a new position thanks to a referral from an executive leader. Three months later, and after the third round of layoffs during my short time, my position was eliminated, and I received $0 of the RSUs from my offer letter, one month before I was fully vested. The only thing consistent at ZoomInfo is change. Given the consistent rounds of layoffs and executives ‘leaving’ the company, it honestly felt like your role could be eliminated at any time. There was a lack of quality people leaders, and most managers had serious trust issues with delegating work to individual contributors. This culture likely stems from an unrealistic goal of remaining 40% profitable as the company continues to grow. As soon as that goal is in jeopardy, they eliminate roles. Save yourself the time and avoid working for this company.

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

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.
