      Very good place to start your career

      Strategy insights and planning associate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You’ll work with lots of young, kind, and helpful people. Very good pay for fresh graduates. Opportunities to learn valuable consulting skills that will make you an asset to other companies. As long as you’re not terrible, it’s almost impossible to be fired, and you’ll eventually make it to middle management.

      Cons

      Expect a poor work / life balance. Forced in-office presence which factors into reviews. Lack of up-or-out structure results in many complacent / incompetent people stuck at the middle-management levels. Title deflation and slow promotion compared to other consulting firms. Recent overall budget cutbacks for raises, perks, and office events due to over hiring during covid and refusal to do mass layoffs. Low motivation to perform anywhere above average, as there is no additional reward for great performance.

      Hard work, but ultimately worth it

      Associate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you want to learn about Healthcare, ZS is the place to be. Through brutal projects and clients, you will have the opportunity to talk with the brightest subject matter experts in the industry. Throughout all the long nights and extreme stress, I stayed for the valuable healthcare experience you will gain at the job. This is a firm that you will have ample opportunity to choose what you want (within healthcare) and as long as you are proactive, you can achieve it.

      Cons

      It took me a while to learn, but the are a lot of politics and what I would define as cliques. If you are on the outside looking in, you will find yourself overstretched and unfulfilled. Make sure you put in the effort to network and vouch for yourself because you can get stepped on and pushed very easily. Your work experience is what you make of it.

      My Expierence

      Rotating analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It has a great company culture. They care about mental health and try to create a welcoming environment. Some of the nicest people I ever met work here and they give random bonuses and paid days off. They try to be as understanding as possible to make sure you're happy

      Cons

      I like the idea of the program in order to learn as much as possible but it does mess up the flow of learning and consistency for managers. I think it should be at the intern level not college graduate level. There is also a big chance that they won't promote you at all even when you pick up more work they will most likely hire senior analyst from the outside
