Vantaggi

Salary & Benefits were good

Svantaggi

There was very little support. Every once in a while, my manager would check in, and even when I expressed confusion or a need for help, I wasn't given much guidance other than "you can ask me questions whenever." I struggled to find dial lists and was eventually informed that there was a way to create custom call lists with manager support. I was surprised this was never offered to me during the numerous conversations where I had asked for guidance with this. I would often ask peers where they were getting their call lists (not to use, but as a reference point), but with the competitive nature, I was often just straight-up ignored. I understand that in sales there is often a dog-eat-dog nature with the work, but even socially I found people were very standoffish and unwilling to offer support. I am a very extroverted and friendly person by nature, and I spent each day eating lunch by myself with my headphones in because of how awkward the environment was. I felt more comfortable in one week at my new organization than I did in 6 months at ZI.

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

Vantaggi

Good pay, good benefits and great office.

Svantaggi

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
