Pros

Decent pay (besides the industry low base)

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE. This company was toxic from the start. It all started fine with training. The training was a state of the art training that was led by a great salesperson. As soon as I got out of training I started making a realization that the job is not at all what was advertised by the recruiter. Long hours. Management wants you working however many hours it takes to get the job done. We had random calendar invites to start working at 7am and then expecting us to work until about 8pm. 125+ Calls a day and if you don’t get a certain amount of demos booked they will throw an inviting saying that we are required to work later. Just don’t go to this place. You can find a company that will treat you right and probably pay you way more.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We’re glad to hear that your training when you started at ZoomInfo was stellar! As a company we put a lot of time and effort into the creation of our training materials and programs, and we invest heavily into the success of our new hires. The nature of the Sales Development Representative role is that it is volume-based; however, you will get out of it what you put in. Being an SDR with us is an excellent way to start a career in tech sales – we see many SDRs promoted to Account Executives within a year, and in fact, we have several employees in leadership positions who began their careers with us as SDRs. We wish you the best in your new adventure and hope that the training you received at ZoomInfo will add to your success in your next role! - ZoomInfo Employee Experience Team

Pros

Get stuff done culture. Really increased the talent density over time. Good people who genuinely care. Forward thinking on AI - most companies are not there

Cons

Pace can cause whiplash - but a lot of it is market conditions and the need to adapt

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.
