Pros

N.A. - Look Elsewhere, not even a good stepping stone

Cons

Very top-down heavy with management. Bloated from VPs to Directors to Managers, which leads to a lack of alignment that is noticeable even to customers and reflected in the stock price. There is no unified direction to work toward and a lack of product voice on all fronts. Politics and favoritism are heavily practiced. When teams are not performing due to a lack of guidance and product direction, certain engineers are promoted and turned into one-man teams to get the actual work done. Yearly reorganizations will leave you back at square one with any small progress you made during the year, if they don’t result in quiet firing. Do not expect much from your manager or career growth—reviews are only used to build a file to determine whether you will be shuffled or turned into a one-man team. Certainly, do not expect promotions in title, salary, or bonus. 2025 is going to continue to be hard for ZoomInfo. The stock is already at all-time lows, and they are behind in the market on product and internally behind in building an engineering team with the talent to compete.

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.

Pros

Great management in the CS org. Very little micromanagement, and lets you do your job as you see fit. Promotes work life balance and tend to be real people. Collaborative teams, usually willing to help each other out wherever needed. Good room for growth if you are performing well and are vocal about wanting to move up.

Cons

Salary could be higher for the market, and for how many products you are expected to work with and specialize in. Communication from marketing and leadership directly to clients could be more effectively communicated to the client facing roles prior to reaching the client.

Thank you for sharing your experience in the CS organization and for all you've done for ZoomInfo. I'm proud of the culture of collaboration and support that we've worked hard to build, so it's wonderful to hear that it's paying off for you. I believe that people do their best work when they're empowered; and that means autonomy, flexibility and freedom to get creative. That's how we innovate. I appreciate your candid feedback on cross-functional communication and product complexity. Platform simplification is an important near term goal for the whole company, and we're investing to move in the right direction. Thank you again for your feedback. It's helping us continue improving how we support our teams and equip client-facing employees for success. – Whitney Littman, ZoomInfo VP of Customer Success
