Pros

ZoomInfo is a great company for software development. ZoomInfo offers challenging work using up-to-date and interesting technologies. It is a great place to develop new skills and gain experience in some of the "hot" industry technologies.

There are a lot of great employees here that are more than willing to share their own knowledge, encourage employee growth, and have fun in the process. ZoomInfo is attempting to tackle some very difficult problems that will push you as a software developer.

Additionally, the work/life balance is fantastic and management is very easy to work with. A number of the managers at Zoom were previously developers at Zoom, so they have a great understanding of the challenges presented in the work here.

Cons

The challenges presented by the problem space that ZoomInfo is attempting to solve are substantial. This means that as a software developer here, you will be expected to push yourself, work hard, and solve problems. There are plenty of resources here to guide you, but it is an expectation that employees will work hard at problem-solving and develop skills over time to tackle issues presented by challenging projects.

Also, as a small, agile company, Zoom tries to react to changes in the marketplace. As a result, software developers may find themselves facing shifting priorities. This has been improved recently, as Zoom appears to be better understanding and focusing on specific, concrete goals.

Advice to Management

Keep a focus on specific goals and communicate those goals to employees. This will keep employees driving towards company goals. Knowing that priorities can shift in a company of Zoom's size, communicate reasons for changing priorities to help alleviate concerns.
