Pros

1. Decent perks like Work from home etc. 2. Opportunity to interact with top management

Cons

1. Non-pharma division is small, disorganized and the worst in terms of culture at ZS 2. No accountability for mid-senior level employees. Once an employee gains > 2 years of experience they are allowed to plan every aspect of the project in the name of learning. What most resort to is delegating all their work to associates. 3. Associate Consultants and Consultants simply review their associate's work and do no work themselves. This turns into micro-management of every sphere of their associate's professional and personal life. 4. People are thrown into a project without sufficient training. Resorting to petty office politics and hiding their poor management skills, most Cs and ACs blame all that goes wrong on Associates. 5. PDMs do their jobs for namesakes only.

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.
