Pros

People are really smart as they recruit from the top colleges and have a rigorous recruitment procedure. Mostly people form a group at the New-employee-orientation and that group becomes your support throughout your stay at ZS.

Cons

The projects are very operational in nature and there is lack of client visibility in a lot of projects. So if you are looking for work that is going to challenge you: ZS India is not the place to be. The cross-office setup is not very conducive for the professional development of employees in India.

Pros

Used to have great senior management to start with. They were mostly people from the US Offices in Pune on rotation. A collegial environment with a good energy flowing around. Easy to socialize and find friends. Most of the office is still young, so easy opportunities to enjoy life. A good place to start working. Emphasis is given to organization of work, QC of work, and general presentation skills that leads to professional development.

Cons

The standards deteriorated very quickly. The firm was posting HUGE profits from the India office by serving the US clients, hence they changed their strategy. They chose not to open up the consulting practice to Indian clients and develop the office as a full fledged back office. This hit the employee morale, most of whom were awesome graduates from the best engineering schools in India, the Indian Institutes of Technology. The hiring practice of the firm also took a huge hit as the later hires were not worth the salt. The nature of the work is also in a very narrow margin and there is no diversity of work available.
