ZS Associate salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Helpful people Decent culture although it’s going down the drain post covid Flexible timing Don’t really need approval for leaves If youre a fresher, its a good place to learn corporate stuff, develop ability to work uner pressure and strict deadlines, ownership of the project, good for 1-2 years. However if you don’t have interest in pharma/healthcare, dont join here, you’ll be in hell.

Dislikes

...staffing Absolutely ZERO WORKLIFE BALANCE ITS 5 day working BUT ONLY ON PAPERS No overtime pay Rudimentary working style, ZERO TOOLS TO WORK WITH LABOUR TREATMENT, upper management think of us as robots POOR MANAGEMENT, no clarity in work, just keep on piling up with requests and oversmart questions LATERAL hires are INSANELY STUPID and ARROGANT, no sense of responsibility, just keep on loading As with work and THEIR OWN work

Salary is decent but given the amount of work we put in, probably not enough.

Dislikes

Managing wlb is very difficult. It keeps getting worse as you go up the ladder. Promotions can be tricky, more biased towards tenure than performance.

Likes

The Salary and the Skill Development will be excellent and you get to learn in a very competitive environment. Growth rate is pretty good as well.

Dislikes

Work life balance is pretty bad, they talk about culture but doesn't follow them through. Company politics is pretty prominent, people who don't even know a single thing will try to steal your work.

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

Dislikes

...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

Dislikes

- Poor Work life balance - Limited tech stack - Favoritism and politics at higher level (almost common for all corporates and not just limited to ZS)
