ZS Senior Associate Consultant Reviews

Snacks in the office

Dislikes

Everything is terrible. They support an AP who hits someone and who got reported to HR many times. The management is terrible and they got rid of more than half of my department and didn't tell us why - "blaming it on performance" but we really know it's because the company has no money. There is alot of office politics and the bosses don't give any support and don't respect their own employees. This is the worst company I've ever worked at and I came out 20 pounds heavier and with mental health issues to a point where I'm strapped with medicines to sleep. DO NOT work here....Read More

Dislikes

Toxic work culture and bad work life balance. Incompetent Managers and Directors. No planning what's so ever. Always rushing to develop thing and then to discard. Service based mindset cannot make a product based company. PIPs and layoffs To reduce cost. Laterals are not welcomed. Pathetic tools and review process.

Business Analytics and Extensive Data Analytics part. Sometimes we do feel we're creating an Impact

Dislikes

Work-life balance is very poor. A normal day starts at 11 AM (Morning) and ends up at 1 AM (Night). Company's culture is bottoms up (Mostly driven according to the Teams) rather being driven from the Top and therefore lacs Transparency

Dislikes

The work-life balance is challenging, with long hours stretching from 10 AM to 1 AM on some days. Logging out at 9 PM is considered an "early logout." Deadlines are tight, with minimal time allocated to complete tasks, and there's an expectation to finish everything on the same day it is assigned. Although the work involves the latest technology, it often feels unfulfilling.

Force people out of the blue into PIP, no clear metrics provided , no feedback , just asked to leave. ' Treat people right' is the biggest irony . Politics entrenched in the DNA of the leadership here . Worst firm to be at , specially for lateral hires.

1. You would be working on challenging projects with focus on solving real business problems. 2. They generally use the latest tech stack.

Dislikes

1. Work Life balance is beyond terrible. While it is generally expected that WLB in consulting is not great, ZS has managed to set a new gold standard for how bad it can get. 2. People don't respect each other and egos run high. 3. Culture is extremely toxic, don't be surprised if some randon dude comes and shouts at you on your first day. 4. Laterals don't get proper training but managers place them in projects and says - "We have done our part, you need to manage the project from today on your own." Not recommended at all....Read More

You might find good people

Dislikes

They have people from Amity and lower grade college. One of the director is in Supply chain team and she had done her graduation in Hospital management. You will find people with no talent. Strict No, don’t join. If joining, always go for some pharma team there. Say No to any other specially ATC team.

Likes

High performance culture. Good facilities. Good pay.

Dislikes

ZS is Not for the faint hearted. It pays very well but is stressful and they make you work for it. For senior professionals, because they pay so high, you are likely to find it difficult to switch. But it's worth it.
