Not so “treating people right” - Anonymous employee ZS Associates Employee Review

As a former employee, I held the company value of "treating people right" in high regard, but my experiences at ZS fell short of this standard. While working under the management of an Associate Principal in an expertise center, I consistently faced challenges that were overlooked by the company. This manager exhibited toxic behaviors that undermined my professional contributions and well-being, yet my attempts to address these issues were largely ignored by upper management. Despite repeated efforts to seek assistance and resolution through the appropriate channels, there was a palpable reluctance from the organization to address or rectify the situation. This not only affected my work experience but also left me questioning the integrity of the company’s core values. I believe ZS has the potential to be a great place to work, but from my experience, there is a significant gap between their stated values and the actual treatment some employees receive. A real commitment to "treating people right" means accountability at all levels, and I hope to see ZS embrace this fully in the future. This review serves as a call to action for the company to uphold its values uniformly, ensuring a genuinely respectful and supportive workplace for everyone.
