Pros

- Variety of work. ZS does strategy projects (MBB comparable) and execution type (Big 4 comparable). There's a number of deep products related to sales and marketing, but there's also a big emphasis on Digital & Tech, a growing PE practice, and ZS also makes and markets IT tools & systems. -Culture: One of the core values is "Treat People Right" and there's a big focus on building a good culture. I don't think it's possible to be a jerk and keep your job for very long. - Entrepreneurial Spirit: I'm essentially building my own business, within a business. I like that I learn how to scale and have autonomy, but also have a safety net and a regular paycheck

Cons

- Typical mgmt consulting cons- hours are not 9-5pm.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
