Pros

Friendly people to work with

Cons

This is mainly because of the negative impact of our non chennai India leader extends beyond just their policy enforcement and favouritism. In fact, it is a common sentiment among employees that the culture could be significantly improved in their absence. Despite claims that the culture has improved, it's evident that most of the benefits that could be enjoyed by employees are restricted and controlled by this one person. The culture, which should be inclusive and supportive, seems to be dictated by the non chennai India leader 's personal preferences and biases. Their absence is perceived as a relief by many, as it suggests that without their influence, the culture could flourish and be more favourable to all employees. Another glaring issue is the lack of effective channels for feedback. While the organization may occasionally host "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) sessions to collect feedback, it's disheartening to note that none of the concerns raised during these sessions are addressed satisfactorily. Instead of taking constructive action, employees are often met with excuses and a call to adapt to the current environment. Even the basic food need are not properly fulfilled and when asked about it, we are asked to spend the same from our pockets. When talents are hired from multiple organisations with multiple promises but those were never fully kept up. This failure to address feedback not only leaves employees feeling unheard and undervalued but also perpetuates a sense of futility when it comes to expressing their concerns. A healthy work culture should encourage open communication and actively seek to address employee concerns, but our non chennai India leader 's actions demonstrate the opposite. In conclusion, the non chennai india leader 's negative impact on the organizational culture is undeniable. Their restrictive control over benefits, reluctance to address employee feedback, and their perceived negative influence on the workplace culture have created a toxic work environment. It's imperative that the organization takes swift action to rectify these issues and promote a more inclusive, supportive, and transparent culture.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. All benefits including insurance, wellness, shift differential, relocation etc are all clearly defined and not administered based on individual discretion. Except for relocation all benefits are uniform and do not differentiate based on grade or title. There are forums for effective communication not just limited to AMA but All Hands, pulse survey and round tables that are conducted from time to time and therefore there are multiple ways and means to share feedback. And every manager and lead has a standing meeting with HR/your India leader where they can bring forth their concerns and channelize them through the right resources. We suggest meeting with Venky and or your HRBP in strict confidence and speak about the specifics of bias and noninclusivity so that a formal investigation can be conducted.

Thank you for the kind words. This genuinely means a lot to us. We're proud of the caliber of leaders here and the pace at which we're embedding AI into how we work, so it's great to hear that comes through day-to-day. You're right that the macro environment is presenting challenges – we won't pretend otherwise. What we can control is continuing to move faster and smarter than our peers, and feedback like yours is a reminder of why the culture we've built is a competitive advantage in itself. We're glad you're part of it. – Jennifer Creticos, ZoomInfo Chief Business Officer

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.

Thank you for the feedback, and we're glad the pay, benefits, and office experience worked well for you. To be clear, though, the recent restructure was not targeted at remote employees. It reflected a strategic decision to restructure some of our sales and support operations as we shift how we approach certain segments of the business, both in terms of personnel and platform. The people affected were valued contributors and we recognize their work helped make ZoomInfo what it is today. The suggestion that in-office employees who stayed "don't know what they're doing" simply isn't accurate. Additionally, we go hard at the end of every month (which is true across SaaS sales broadly) but would push back on the characterization of the culture. Our employee engagement team works hard to make that sprint enjoyable, with in-office lunches and activities. Sales is a high-pressure environment by nature, and we're proud of the culture we've built around it. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, even where we see it differently. – Stephen Antuna, ZoomInfo SVP of Account Management
