ZS Software Developer Reviews

Likes

Hardly anything to like about ZS. Probably the Cab facility is the only thing that seems on a better side

Dislikes

Work-life balance: typical day is between 10 am in the morning to 1 am in night, with still expectation to work even more. Salary: A lot of favouritism in terms of bonus and all, salary depends on promotion a lot and because promotion is all straight politics so salary gets impacted, overall for the kind of work done, salary is low. Promotion: Straight politics, if you manager wants, you can be promoted else no one cares for how good your review really is. A lot of politics here Job-security: No job security at all, whenever the team doesn't have much work in pipeline, they start reducing the headcount by putting people on a plan (PIP), have personally seen 3 cases in my team. Company culture: because of too much politics, it's extremely toxic...Read More

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.

Amazing place to begin as a fresher. One could start contributing towards projects and deliverables from the very first day. All the team members are supportive towards providing right guidance and mentorship. Based on own willingness one could unwaveringly expect a exponential growth

Flexibility in terms of working location, People so far have been good to work with

Dislikes

Working hours are too much- Can expect minimum of 11-12 hours on a regular basis, Pay and growth is not too much in the long run, promotions are all politics dependant and usually can expect in a minimum of 2.5 years

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
