ZoomInfo reviews

As a young person coming out of college, I took this as my first job. I was told from the start that there would be opportunities to grow and move within the company. I worked my butt off and performed extremely well, but came to find out that there was, in fact, no opportunity for me to move beyond my starting point. I felt like my ambition was seen as a negative by upper management. I think that they prefer employees are content to stay in low level, low-paying positions. Please know coming in that if you take a research analyst job, it will be boring. You will be doing a small set of computer tasks all day, every day. There really aren't added responsibilities to be had. You will earn $11.50 per hour and receive 7 days paid time off for your first year (provided that you start early in the year), which includes sick days. Job security is always going to be an issue here, it seems, as my layoff was one of many, and I have heard that there have been previous waves of layoffs like it.

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.
