      Structured and limiting

      Pros

      Smart and motivated lower-mid level employees. Very structured typical "ZS" way. If you like being told exactly what to do with very little thinking involved, this is for you.

      Cons

      Management is super old school and stuck in the past. Analyses performed are tried and tested, lather/rince/repeat pieces that ZS has been doing for 25 years. The software they use and "sell" to other companies has not been edited in over 20 years. Thus, no real growth for entry level applicants seeking knowledge in the modern world

      Pros

      Absolutely none. Even the snacks are terrible.

      Cons

      ZS Associates is a big consulting firm with lofty reviews on Glassdoor. People have long tenures here, but in the last two months it surely has been an awful place to work and I cannot wait to quit. At a high level, the company prides itself on diversity and acceptance but hypocritically breeds managers who lead by fear and intimidation. Those who are successful epitomize a squadron of secret police; if you fall out of line, others who yearn to be recognized by their superiors latch their eyes onto your every movement and report back. These are our lovely “PD (professional development) Coaches” - makeshift managers who coordinate performance reviews and inject themselves into your life.
