Pros

1. You get to work directly with the clients and manage the project - early in your careers. 2. Compensation and other benefits are good - compared to its competitors. 3. Good learning curve early in the career

Cons

1. Work life balance is really a challenge. You are expected to take late night calls (around midnight) while your usual day starts at 7.30 2. ZS has recently started hiring folks from other companies rather than full-time employees. This proves to be good for project finances but takes a toll on the project quality and mental health of the full time employees. 3. Though technology projects are good - there is very little/no technical work for onshore folks. 4. It is really difficult to change your space/project

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.
