Pros

Okay starting place...if you really cant find anything else.

Cons

Management is on a power trip Theres a lead dump every morning and its almost like a piñata to try and make set meetings for customers. 125 calls a day minimum. Highest achievers will make shy of 65k. Thats pretty standard but not for the amount of effort. CEO has short man energy and will regularly drop f-bombs on recorded calls - so unprofessional. You feel greasy for selling other peoples information (plus some of these people get called upwards of 15 calls a day).

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Our team of SDRs forms the base on which we build our entire Sales organization. This critical role is both demanding and rewarding, and is a fantastic position if you want to learn the fundamentals of tech sales. The training that you’ll receive is second to none! Our lead distribution process is strategic – we believe that healthy competition and high, but attainable, call volumes can motivate talented salespeople to their best work. And we have seen this bear out. Most of our SDRs are promoted to AE or AM positions within a year. Regarding the sale of information – that is what we do. The important point to note is that our database specializes in business-related contact data like company, job title, work email, work phone, etc. In short, it’s the kind of information you would find on a business card, LinkedIn profile, or email signature. Individuals can opt out of providing this information to us. This data (and it’s quality!) makes us a leading B2B data provider, helping customers all over the world optimize their go-to-market strategy. Thanks again for leaving your candid perspectives. We want you, and all our SDRs, to find professional success. Please feel free to reach out to your HR Business Partner with any other thoughts or feedback you may have. – The ZoomInfo Employee Experience Team

Pros

Get stuff done culture. Really increased the talent density over time. Good people who genuinely care. Forward thinking on AI - most companies are not there

Cons

Pace can cause whiplash - but a lot of it is market conditions and the need to adapt

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.
