Disappointing first year at ZS

Pros

Highly intellectual peers/colleagues who have been with ZS for >3 years. If you demonstrate your loyalty, you wil be rewarded in the long run.

Cons

Throw your MBA degree in a can of trash when you come here - it is not valued, also throw away your prior workex. You will notice that your batchmates have made it to the next level a couple of years ago, while you will require another couple of years to be at that level, needless to say, with an MBA degree. Don't get too excited if you get a high salary when you join ZS, it will be 'corrected' in the coming cycles where you will get a less than 1/3rd of the hike as compared to the home-grown ZSers, no matter how well you performed. In the pretext of calling you an expert, you are required to do the same kind of work, every now and then which becomes boring. Unless you are in a client team, you are pretty much on your own, in the sense that you are just treated as a 'resource' who can execute certain tasks for them, just like buying a pet bottle of coke when you are thirsty.

Pros

People: Get to work with friendly people who are tight-knit and helpful. Career Progress: It's a great launchpad for career growth and to learn data analysis useful for management careers later. Promotions are fair -- based on performance/merit,

Cons

Brand Value: What was initially seen as a top employer in IITs/NITs are now seen as a Tier-3 recruited in the league of Infy, Cognizant. ZS competes with Infy-type companies on a regular basis, and its glorified brand of 'consulting' is falling apart. Culture: Leadership is less approachable with the increasing headcount, and certainly the quality of people joining the firm is not as good as it used to be. One of the senior leaders in his words - "We don't need super smart 8+ pointers from IITs/NITs to do the work we do". I completely agree with this person, the quality of work we do has also diminished. Compensation and Bonus: A black box. There is no clarity in how one's salary increments are made, and bonuses paid.
