Pros

If you enjoy sales/marketing related work for pharmaceutical companies, then ZS is one of the best firms to work for. The company was able to expand since the '08 economic crisis, as corporations focused on downsizing and increasing operating efficiency to save cost.

Cons

The company has been trying to expand its expertise and client base outside of pharmaceutical sales, but success is rather limited. Projects are quite cyclical. Working hours can extend very long during certain months.

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.
