Pros

Not much travel as most client engagements are local. Lots of teambuilding events at a local level (at least in smaller offices) to create strong sense of ZS community. Very smart and client-focused company.

Cons

Hours can be long. Some managers and partners are too hands off when it comes to project work. Have had situations where I was questioned in meetings in front of the client about our work.
