Pros

Great company culture Senior management generally respects associates time and needs decent pay + benefits

Cons

the type of work you do is mostly "bi*ch work" as you mostly do work that the pharma clients are too incompetent to do themselves. ZS considers itself to be a consulting firm but in reality I would venture that at most 10-20% of the projects could actually be considered consulting projects; the rest are just grunt work

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and support one another, creating a highly collaborative environment. It's a great place to start your career because of the amount of knowledge, mentorship, and guidance available. The company also supports a hybrid work setup, which promotes a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, feedback is generally well-received and encouraged

Cons

Work hours can be quite taxing - as is expected in consulting.
