Pros

Can do a variety of work and have experience with different clients. Colleagues are generally friendly.

Cons

Work life balance is very difficult, with lots of pressure to take calls early in the morning and late at night. Most of the team is coming from similar country/community and feels a little bit like a high school click and it's difficult to fit in if you are not part of that community. They often speak in their native languages even when others are around.

Pros

Compensation was on the front edge of the market.

Cons

COVID lead to some terrible operational ways of working at ZS. They brought in a new CHRO who pushed for unsustainable ways of working, pushed operations offshore and did not match consulting hiring with hiring on the business side. This led to a culture that was anything but people first. They took everything out of your soul and asked for more. COVID was particularly challenging as business demand increased they'd ask for more and more and never provided any meaningful support. They just pushed out anyone that was unable to keep up with the demands meaning, if you couldn't do the work of 3 people, they would exit you. Since the hiring of the CHRO, it has been a rotating door in HR.
