Pros

ZS has a community of smart individuals that work together. There are inter-office teams for projects, which means that you have access to the whole ZS network throughout your tenure here. Additionally, the smart travel policy at ZS ensures that employees are doing quality work, rather than solely focusing on pleasing clients. There is great room for advancement, as the company is rapidly growing. Transfers between offices are common, and easy, and the chance to have an MBA paid for by your employers is also pretty great.

Cons

Long work hours, but that's the same for any consultancy (in my first year, averaging around 60 hours/week). Fractional staffing model puts you on multiple projects at once, which can be both relieving in a change of pace and confusing as multiple deliverables and deadlines occur without coordination between managers.

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.
