Pros

Excellent culture, welcoming to the thought of women in leadership. Welcoming to the surge of LGBTQ employees and leadership. Lots of corporate events, happy hours etc.

Cons

Lack of diversity! No women of color in leadership/executive positions, little to no people of color in the firm. This is one of the not so rare situations where the company claims to care about diversity deeply. However only a certain type of diversity. Administration is under staffed and over worked, which has led to higher than usual turnover. Associate Consultants are also overworked, and treated poorly by upper management. Seems to be a strong "make money, behave how you want" policy. A few female A.C.'s ave gone to HR about foul play from upper management to no avail. People are leaving the firm, to get regular 9 - 5 jobs, as this place simply is not that.

Pros

Compensation leader in the pharmaceutical consulting space. Office culture (see cons) overall is good and good people to work with.

Cons

No set standards. In consulting project expenses are billable which is a standard practice across all big consulting firms. Some PAMs on a few projects take advantage of the vague expense policies and harass (quite literally...constant nagging) employees not to expense food and other expenses. HR is non existent in this office and the reviews, promotions are all driven by perception of the PAM group. There is strong evidence of subjective reviews, office politics and favoritism. Top down approach in management style. The pace at which this office has grown has resulted in an influx of new employees at PAM level who do not understand the ZS culture and the importance of people. The HR team are falling puppets to PAM team.

Pros

Team parties. Canteen food. Career opportunities once you leave ZS. Peers.

Cons

Long Working hours, Stagnant learning curve, Partial staffing exacerbates long working hours. 12 - 14 hr work days are the new normal. No effort from Higher management to address employee issues regarding Long working hours.
