Pros
Working at DiscoverOrg is certainly not for the meek, or the lazy - everyone here is ambitious, highly intelligent, hungry and extremely hard working. It is a sink or swim type environment to an extent, but once you "earn your stripes" -you truly become part of something special. The passion that everyone shares is undeniable, and it is infectious. The team cares about the company, cares about what we do, cares about the product, and cares about each other.
It is the norm that folks will get together after work for happy hour, or go on a weekend camping trip / hike / snowboard trip.
It is the kind atmosphere we're everyone pushes themselves, and each other, to be better, and improve the company as a whole. Though competition is built into the backbone of this company, it is what makes DiscoverOrg great to work for and keeps every day dynamic and rewarding.
The environment is highly collaborative, brainstorming sessions are the norm, and good ideas/processes actually get implemented from employee input. i.e. your voice is actually meaningful, and does not fall on deaf ears.
When you come to work every day, you can sense the growth potential and success around you, and you know you are part of something big. Is not the kind of place where you work for a year or two then move on to the next best thing, once you’re in, you don’t want to leave. Though somewhat picky in who they hire, it is because they are vested in your success and they have every notion you are here for the long haul.
Bottom line - if you are looking to come work a 9-5, float by, and collect a paycheck - DiscoverOrg is not for you. If however, you are looking to be at the top of your game, get knocked down a peg only to get that much better, and got some fight in you, it’s a great place to work and grow.
Cons
Cons:
The days are long, expectations are high and the work is plentiful, but you know what you're signing up for. At times it can be a bit frat-like, though it is rooted in the pride that the employees have for the company, and the competitive nature.
