Pros

Some great people to work with Some brilliant projects and clients to work with There is an ethical stance and strong respect for people

Cons

Global management seem detached and driving for unimaginative goals that put Zuhlke in competition with big hitters No strong investment in people anymore Consultants are being blamed for no work It's become a very sales driven organisation Management seem to have forgotten their people are their product

Thank you for sharing your reflections. With over eight years at Zühlke, your perspective means a lot, and we’re grateful you took the time to share it. It’s encouraging to hear your appreciation for the brilliant people, projects, and our values-driven approach — these remain central to who we are. At the same time, we recognise your concerns about recent shifts. Leadership decisions are always made with care and an eye on long-term sustainability, always with the aim of balancing growth and staying true to our identity as a company. We continue to invest in people through training and development, and seriously believe that the culture is shaped by everyone. While the business might feel like it has become more commercially focused in response to market realities, we preserve those spaces for meaningful connection — our Lunch & Learns, Zühlke Days, Practice Camps, and local events — to maintain our strong sense of community. Your advice to ‘try listening more’ is taken seriously. If you feel comfortable, we’d welcome an in-person conversation to explore your thoughts in more depth. Thanks again for your honesty and commitment to Zühlke. Best regards, Neil Moorcroft, Group Head of Managed Services & Head of Client Management FSI EMEA & Partner

Pros

Zühlke is an excellent if not that well known consultancy offering deep expertise in data, AI, software and digital transformation. Great people to work with, lots of training, mentoring and meet-ups.

Cons

Until recently a global Swiss based hierarchical style got in the way of some UK activities but this has since been acknowledged and revised
