Pros

If you want to learn about Healthcare, ZS is the place to be. Through brutal projects and clients, you will have the opportunity to talk with the brightest subject matter experts in the industry. Throughout all the long nights and extreme stress, I stayed for the valuable healthcare experience you will gain at the job. This is a firm that you will have ample opportunity to choose what you want (within healthcare) and as long as you are proactive, you can achieve it.

Cons

It took me a while to learn, but the are a lot of politics and what I would define as cliques. If you are on the outside looking in, you will find yourself overstretched and unfulfilled. Make sure you put in the effort to network and vouch for yourself because you can get stepped on and pushed very easily. Your work experience is what you make of it.

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.
