Pros

Great benefits, fun office outings, incredibly smart colleagues, lots of learning opportunities.

Cons

Training is poor unless you're in the consulting track; there is little room for new 'best practices' or varying workstyles. Too much obsession with the 'ZS Way' without examining whether that's truly the best way. Little career / business unit development unless you are within the consulting track. Non-client facing titles/ business units get shafted often, and are not included in events, trainings, etc. that could lead to better career development.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
