Business Outlook

Pros

Flat organization; Client interaction. Very friendly people to work with. For someone coming straight out of college my first job taught me a lot.

Cons

At ZS, you would often have late work hours. Co-ordinating with US office teams, specially on the west coast is a problem.

A pretty good place to be...

Business Outlook

Pros

It is almost cliche...but "the people" are the best part of working at ZS. Generally speaking, people tend to be a little nerdy/quirky, but they are good, smart people and it creates a pretty fun work environment. The pay isn't amazing, but it is a good living -- and you have incredible job security. Consistent double-digit growth every year. You don't have crazy travel schedules like many consultants do.

Cons

No one outside of the healthcare industry has every heard of ZS so not much prestige, etc. The work can get repetitive (same clients, similar project types, same industry). It is hard to get a job outside of pharma after you leave (unless you go to b-school).
