Pros

Great company culture Senior management generally respects associates time and needs decent pay + benefits

Cons

the type of work you do is mostly "bi*ch work" as you mostly do work that the pharma clients are too incompetent to do themselves. ZS considers itself to be a consulting firm but in reality I would venture that at most 10-20% of the projects could actually be considered consulting projects; the rest are just grunt work

Pros

You'll find remarkably sharp people working with you and is still a great learning experience for college freshers. Senior management is great in terms of knowledge and consulting skills.

Cons

Turning into an operations company with increasing number of bozos being hired for low paying jobs. The work/life balance is extremely worrying - the senior management expects people to work 12+ work hours with ease. On site opportunities have almost vaporized.

Pros

- The amount of responsibility and accountability (can sometimes be a bad thing too) - A small chance that you might get to travel overseas

Cons

- Low pay, CTC is hugely misleading - the in-hand money is just a fraction. They have something called 'Deferred Bonus', which is like a bond, only worse. Good thing that they are now thinking of doing away with this. - Almost fraudulent pay structure - the non-cash benefits constitute a large portion of the CTC, opting out of the non-cash benefits (like cab service, for example) adds about nothing to your in-hand amount (you get Rs. 80 per month when opting out, while the cab service is valued at about Rs. 5,000 per month in your CTC!) - ZERO work-life balance: working 12 hours is a norm and is expected. Anything less is considered as slacking off, and will badly affect your reviews and growth. - Growth within company depends a lot on things other than work performance - Like someone else mentioned, employee issues are never addressed, only false promises are made - Low employee satisfaction, something that the HR evidently doesn't care about - Change in recent company strategy is sure to make the India office go to the dogs. The company is rapidly losing its brand value
