Pros

ZS is a company filled with intelligent people and is a great place to learn skills and build your career.

Cons

Like many consulting firms, ZS has a non-existent work life balance. Finding a variety of different types of projects to work on within the company can be challenging. At ZS you will make ~20% more money than similar companies but will work 60% more hours. While the compensation can be attractive, dollar for dollar ZS is actually paying far less.

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.
