Pros

It pays well; causal office... jeans & sneakers; young culture

Cons

With the recent recession, ZS had some low morale that seemed to infect many within the organization. ZS is currently trying to fix these issues with some focus groups to bring about change. The hours can be long and plentiful. It is becoming increasingly harder to transfer offices due to the high need of experienced people. The company is very cheap when it comes to spending and each office seems to treat this differently (some smaller offices have more outings and free food more frequently than larger offices)

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
