Pros

The office location is excellent (35th floor in the One Liberty building, Center City Philly)

Cons

Awful hours, consistently have to work past midnight, 7am meetings, you have to be available 24/7, pay is low for similar work in the area (I got a 15k raise when I went to a different company... from 75k to 90k), you get put on multiple projects at once and they all expect 40 hours/week. They trick you into thinking it's a "privilege" to work there so that you convince yourself their abuses of your time and life are okay. They will tell you straight up that what makes them different is that they value work/life balance, but after 1 month there you learn that's a huge joke. I feel bad for the children of parents who work at ZS because they will NEVER get to spend time with their parents. Truly a toxic work environment and everyone is miserable with an insane fake smile.

Pros

1) You get to work with very smart and motivated people 2) Very good perks and benefits 3) You get role of responsibility very early 4) Defined career progression

Cons

1) HR is inconsiderate. Themselves put someone on sabbatical and when he comes back ask him to resign 2) Work can really get monotonous. You do not learn any skills. More you stay, less your value becomes in the market 3) Work life balance is bad. Worse yet, it has been considered a new norm and no efforts are made to change it.

Pros

Good pay, relocation, benefits. Option to work remotely whenever necessary. Very smart colleagues.

Cons

I did not fit in with the culture here. It was a mix of recent college grads and people who have been with the company 10+ years (for their entire career) and haven't experienced other corporate environments. I was lost somewhere in the middle and not staffed appropriately on projects. There is no support from managers - they are assigned to you on day one and I never met mine during my tenure. They try to make it a fun and engaging culture, but most people work on-site with a client, remote or are too over-worked to participate in outings/events. The work is dry and you don't feel like you're making an impact on the client. My team was in flux and needed to work out their vision for the next few years before trying to hire for roles where they weren't sure of what skill sets they needed.
