Pros

I've been with the software team for a year this month, and absolutely love the direct management. Having worked with non-technical management, it's nice to have folks in charge who know what they're doing.

Cons

The CEO and upper management are completely superficial. The CEO calls for winter donations, but the highest donating office donates less than 0.1% of his estimated net worth, but he has the audacity to lecture us about donating more. ZoomInfo has seen the best quarters since it's inception in the last year, but refuses to allow new employees full time work from home, despite having all employees work from home during that time. Lastly, the CEO today issued an all-employees email, saying "Please remember, compensation (including equity) is your personal information and it is not recommended that you share that information with others. RED FLAG!!!!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. Our Winter Donation Drive is incredibly important to our culture, and to our CEO personally, so I wanted to take a minute to address your comments. I think it's possible you misunderstood Henry’s message; our CEO and his family match the funds we raise during the drive, so of course he wants to see our employees give as generously as possible because it increases the amount he donates! I also want to underscore that we don’t expect our employees to only dig into their own pockets. As you might have seen, our team comes up with super fun and creative ways to fundraise every year, including selling custom dog bandanas and homemade salsa. At ZoomInfo we always say we do well AND we do good. Giving back to the communities we live and work in is part of our DNA, and has been since day one. I hope you were able to experience the spirit of the Drive. With respect to your second comment, we actually have a fairly sizable percentage of permanently remote employees (in addition to the fact that about 90% of our workforce is still working fully remote due to the pandemic). This working arrangement can be granted based on the role and the team, among other factors; however, it’s untrue to state that we refuse to allow new employees to work from home – it just depends on the situation. Finally, we do recommend that employees keep personal information confidential. We consider personal information to include compensation, health information and PMI, social security number, passwords, etc. This is simply a best practice to protect you. If you have any other questions regarding these topics, you can feel free to reach out to me directly or to HRfeedback@zoominfo.com. – Alyssa Lahar, ZoomInfo Chief Human Resources Officer

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.
