Salary is good.

Dislikes

Extreme Politics. Favouritism works here. If your stakeholder who is in this company for a decade likes you only then you will flourish. People are working in this company from Decades and they dont like someone new suggesting them a better way of working. If you provide your inputs, you will be laidoff soon. No learnings, work is of a BA rather than a PM. Wasted my 2 years.

Dislikes

Toxic work culture even within the associates, associate consultant, managers. Don't even join as Associate consultant / Consultant with excellent previous track record you will regret later part of your career. No recognition / No respect only home grown associates will be always treated like a gems as If they are awarded from Harvard / Oxford. Not much stuff as business ethics getting worst rated projects by fooling clients. Please avoid joining if you have very good growth trajectory in your previous company choose wise company than ZS even slightly lesser salary comparison.

...r 2 minutes and other than the free cab transport nothing else comes to my mind. The compensation could be in the 75th percentile compared to others but the toxic environment, high work load, lack of empathy and constant job threat due to unethical means cannot compensate for the salary they offer

Dislikes

Toxic culture, power play n power abuse, unethical means and ways of addressing employee concerns, HR team in India sides with business blindly. Constant threat they will ask you to quit or counsel you out with made up reasons not limited to attendance, put you on a 4 week pip, based on one feedback which can be verbal, basically they can do whatever they want. Everybody has been voicing out the above since 3-4 years but the management and leadership is sitting on it with no intention to change.

Good salary

Dislikes

Worst culture and leadership team. Unethical practices and politics is quite big a problem at ZS Senior leadership lacks skill and are incompetent they pass the blame. Most of the senior management team members are bosses not leaders. They portray fake stories to clients. Highly unethical practice. No work life balanace No appreciation for the work that you do. Biased nature and favorism is quite predominant at ZS

Likes

Compensation is decent considering the Indian job market. Senior management tries to improve the work life balance from a high level. Decent upskilling options internally and externally (Though you may never even get to utilise these resources). Rarely work on weekends.

Dislikes

Average workday is 11-12 hours. Lunch away from your desk is a rarity and you will get some glares for taking as little as 20 mins off for lunch. Repetitive and stagnant work. Lack of understanding of projects at most levels since they struggle to retain employees more than a year. (Due to burnout, better offers etc.)
