Pluspunten

Co-workers - really smart and nice. Would love to work with many of them again, and hope that I do. Culture used to be pretty fun.

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.

Still some truly good people left.

Minpunten

Mismanagement and micromanagement, toxic politics, inept leadership. This company holds itself up as a leader in the go-to-market space, but just take a look at the financial results to see the truth. Constant whiplash on strategy, tactics, market segments, product offerings, you name it. Senior leadership is full of yes men, friends, and relatives who have no clue what they're doing. They usually get a year to screw things up before someone notices, and then the job cuts start flowing to make up for their mistakes. We've had a half-dozen CMOs just since the IPO in 2020. Executive leaders used to kind of lay low on the public side because it was such a bad look while the the stock price was tanking. Now they're just spending their time building their personal brands, talking a lot about AI, and cutting costs. Working at ZoomInfo means being buried by emergency requests and conflicting demands from politics-obsessed leadership who are just running on pure fear and self-promotion. A lot of people say it's the most toxic culture they've ever been a part of.

We’re sorry to hear your experience has felt misaligned with what you expected. While stock price alone is not the full picture of ZoomInfo’s health as a company, we recognize that periods of change can create uncertainty. We are continuing to innovate at a rapid pace, and as a $1.2 billion company we remain focused on the future and the opportunities ahead. Leadership evolution is also a normal part of this industry as business needs change. We feel strongly in our leadership team and its ability to guide the company forward, while also taking feedback like yours seriously as we work to continually improve transparency, accountability, and the employee experience. – Dennis Sevilla, ZoomInfo CMO
