ZS Associate Consultant salaries in Pune (Updated 2025)

Likes

1. The compensation and benefits they provide is good. 2. Office is really nicely constructed, you will fell like going to office everyday just because how comfortable the seating and facilities are. 3. Good projects

Dislikes

1. No job security 2. Too much layoff (1000+ this year) when the managers fail to get projects to the team. And the manager is rarely laid off. Its the team who suffers (they have been doing this since years but they have been doing this under the name of counselling off. Where they give some random reasons and put people to PIP and even after people performing well through PIP they give some vague reasons and do layoff). 3. Special recommendation for lateral hires: if you are a lateral higher please find ways to please the managers and the seniors because just hard work won't help you as they will always take sides for the home grown employees. 4. There is a lot of politics and favouritism among various teams. 5. With a lot of companies HRs are the right people to discuss these issues but not with ZS. The HRs are also involved in all these politics and will never be helpful

Dislikes

... n responsibilities defined. There is no process. You have to own everything. 5. There is no overtime, weekend work compensation. You are expected to work long hours/ weekends as usual 6. There are people on high horses who do not understand the ground situation and just demand results. 7. If you are joining as a lateral they will give you bunch of interns and expect you to successfully deliver.
