Pros

Great work life balance for a consulting firm. As a consultant there is occasional travel but not the typical 100% living on the road life style.

Cons

Overly detial oriented and can be very analytically focused for me. They value experience with ZS over outside experience and don't fully value other outside accomplishments.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
