Pros

Great sales training and some good managers that do care about your success. Free snacks and coffee in the office. Zoominfo SalesOS truly is a best-in-class product.

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance requiring 55-60 hour weeks bare minimum for success. This is a sales organization that churns and burns through employees at a faster rate than any company I've worked for in the past. Many of the things promised during the interview process were completely untrue and felt like a bait and switch from the get-go (ex. offered a higher base salary, and upon quitting my job, they retracted my offer and offered me the same role at a lower base salary). They will constantly pressure you to work more hours and to work on vacations that you had planned months prior. The sales tactics they prefer resemble that of a used car salesman, than being in tech sales.

Pros

Great place to work with a lot of forward thinking leaders to learn from. Really ahead of other companies on implementing AI in the business. Moves much faster with less bureaucracy than other similarly sized companies

Cons

Difficult macro environment for the company and industry

Pros

Good pay, good benefits and great office.

Cons

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.
