Pros

Most employees are hard-working and the culture is good overall.

Cons

- Management has been mistreating employees left right and center since the tech crisis started. They promised there won't be layoffs, but 2 weeks later they laid off a bunch of people, without acknowledging it, taking responsibility for it, or even informing everyone. - Recently management mandated everyone within 30 miles of an office into the office 3 days a week. Including employees who were hired as remote employees. Employee retention is clearly not a priority for them at this time. All of my colleagues are VERY upset about this change, which is likely to result in the company being able to only hire engineers who have no other choice. - The offices themselves are operated very poorly and are located in tier 3 markets with a long commute. They stopped even providing lunch on office days. - Benefits are definitely below market for a tech company, as is compensation. - The company definitely struggles to attract top engineering talent, which they do not seem to be particularly concerned about. - Top management is highly disorganized and goals are changing on a weekly basis, literally.

Hey there, Chad Herring here, CHRO of ZoomInfo. I appreciate that you care enough to jot down your experience. Employee retention is absolutely a priority for us and sometimes, we have to change team sizes. Some teams shrink while others grow to match our strategic priorities – just like what happened in January. And whenever we do have to decide to exit someone involuntarily, my team reviews and approves to make sure it's based on objective criteria. In our Return to Office announcement, we stated that if someone was hired fully remote, they can stay fully remote. If someone applied to and was approved to be fully remote while they were working here, they can also stay fully remote. Furthermore, our company goals only adjust twice per year to best hit our strategic goals. Thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback and don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any additional thoughts on how we can do better.

Pros

There is so much growth and opportunity within the company! I feel like our company is so "with it" with guides and new tools being brought in (especially now in the age of AI) that support our explosive improvements in both short and long term goals. The company has supported me with any resource I've needed and keeps me excited about "what's next". I feel like I become better each day and am so grateful for my team's support when going through anything difficult as well. I feel cared for and appreciated.

Cons

The IT/software industry comes with more volatility in markets so while that's not the most comfortable, I know that consistency and the good actions we take every day is what makes me and our company successful in the long-run.
