Pros

Some of my peers were the best people I've worked with. It feels nice to be a part of a company that outwardly appears successful.

Cons

- The Scare tactics to drive productivity and compliance from the top down are unlike anything I've seen before. - Forget providing constructive feedback and expecting anything to change. - The desire to cut costs at the expense of employee well-being (ie instituting such a restrictive travel budget that reps are staying in hostels in the ghetto and getting bed bugs WHILE TRAVELING FOR WORK) -After being downright LIED to multiple times I stopped believing my leaderships explanation for anything. - they think it doesn't make it through the grapevine that they do shady things with our customer's data via the chrome extension and certain integrations - This company lives for appearances and optics instead of caring about doing the right thing and doing right by their employees. - It will wear on your mental and physical health. They don't care if you are flat out 8 hours a day. Platitudes about their understanding is all you will get. There is such a high turn over rate that you might have a team of 15 but only 10 are fully ramped at any given time - Managers will gossip to you than ABOUT you without batting an eye.

Thank you for taking time to leave feedback. We're glad to hear that you had positive peer relationships, but regret that your experience at ZoomInfo was suboptimal. While travel is currently suspended due to COVID, we have a travel policy that is typical for companies our size; employees who travel for business normally stay in the Hilton Garden Inn Waltham or the Comfort Inn Vancouver. We do not ask employees to stay in hostels. We also have a number of corporate apartments that are used for business travel. We would furthermore point out the resources we have in place to support employees' physical and mental wellbeing, including gym facilities at most offices, a Virgin Pulse wellness app free to all employees, and benefits that cover mental health services. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and we wish you the best in your future endeavors. -The ZoomInfo Employee Experience Team

Pros

ZoomInfo has genuinely been unlike any organization I have worked for in my career, and I say that as someone who has seen a lot of workplace cultures up close. It is literally my job. From day one, I was given full autonomy to run my desk with agency and ownership. There is no micromanagement here. If you are a subject matter expert in your field, senior leaders will actually defer to you, listen to you, and trust your judgment. That kind of partnership w/ hiring managers is rare, and it makes a real difference in how you show up every day. The peer support has been unmatched. There is no gatekeeping, no withholding of information, no politics around getting ahead. My colleagues genuinely want to see each other succeed. It is a true "rising tide lifts all boats" culture. When one person wins, we all win. The environment is supportive, encouraging, and welcoming in a way I have not experienced anywhere else. What also sets ZoomInfo apart is the investment senior leadership makes in equipping their teams for success. We are given the tools and tech stack needed to do our jobs at the highest level and there is absolutely no skimping here. The sky truly is the limit when it comes to learning, growing, and leveraging technology that empowers you to do a stellar job. Whether you are in sales, engineering, or talent acquisition, you will have access to best-in-class resources that amplify your impact from day one. Beyond the people and the tools, ZoomInfo is a company with a clear mission and the momentum to back it up. As someone in Talent Acquisition, I see firsthand the quality of people this company attracts and the genuine excitement candidates feel when they learn about the role and the culture. That says everything. When your own candidates are energized before they even join, you know you are working somewhere special. If you are wired for ownership, thrive in a high-energy environment, and want to work alongside people who genuinely want to see you succeed, ZoomInfo is your place. Here, you do not just contribute. You make things happen, fast.

Cons

The pace is fast and the expectations are high, but for the right person, that is a feature, not a bug. If you prefer a slower, more structured environment, this may take some adjustment. Come ready to own your work and move with purpose.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. It means a lot to me personally to hear that your experience at ZoomInfo has stood out so positively, especially given your background in Talent Acquisition. Your comments about autonomy, trust, and partnership with leadership are particularly meaningful. We work hard to create an environment where experts are empowered to lead, contribute, and make decisions with confidence, so it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that reflected in your day-to-day experience. We also deeply appreciate your perspective on the collaborative culture you’ve experienced across teams. The idea that people genuinely want to help each other succeed is something we care deeply about protecting as we continue to grow. It’s also great to hear your recognition of the investment we make in people, technology, and development. We believe giving teams access to strong tools, resources, and opportunities to grow is essential to helping people do their best work and build meaningful careers here. Thank you as well for calling out the pace and expectations with honesty and balance. ZoomInfo is a fast-moving environment, and we know that energy is what motivates many of the people who thrive here.

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.
