Smart people, brutal hours

Pros

ZS has many talented employees. Pay is reasonable

Cons

Being staffed on multiple projects leads to working many many hours. When the projects were with multiple partners, the managers would book client meeting that conflicted with other managers' client meetings. It is a very stressful environment. Also, they don't offer the same perks that other consulting firms offer.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits Many opportunities to work on different kinds of projects

Cons

Nearly every project includes an offshore team, requiring daily early morning and night calls, a lot of rework and time lost when a requirement was misunderstood, extremely inefficient, and severely cuts into family time. There is no "off work" hours. Management can call at 6 or 7pm and ask to have a meeting as if it was a normal request. When staffed on multiple projects you end up with many different calls with offshore teams at night, resulting in at least a hour or two of meetings but you are still required to work a full 8hr day and be available during normal client hours. When a project goes over budget the client pays more, but the employees don't see a cent of the extra money being paid even though they are now working 50-60hr weeks to get the work done.
