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.

...ter a point. As you grow senior in the organization, such expectations increase. Also, there's pay disparity even at peer level. And, all this is considered normal and acceptable in the organization.

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
