ZS Associate salaries in Bangalore / Bengaluru

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

- Collaborative Environment - Competitive compensation and good appraisals (Minimum: double digit percentage for average performing employees as well) - Consulting flavour with client facing roles

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)

Likes

Salary and bonus is good as compared to core pharma companies

Dislikes

Work life balance and bias among teams isn't good at all. Normal days are 10 am to 10 pm which very often stretchs beyond this as well. The transparency between hierarchies is very questionable. Even after working day and night your manager might question your credibility.

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.
