If you’re deciding between ZS and CV I would prob recommend ZS. Not super familiar with ZS but as a current CVer I would say the overall company culture and WLB has taken a hard downward swing in the past few years. I’m pretty sure our PE owners are looking to sell in the next year or two and are burning us hard to make the numbers look good for an exit
If you’re willing to put in long hours and drive projects you can go up very quickly, though there’s definitely a soft ceiling at the principal (LT) level since we’ve become very top heavy with a lot of entrenched partners and MDs
Would second this opinion. Company has taken a massive dive in terms of culture, WLB, and promotion. Project work is interesting and lot to be learned here, but my experience hearing from both average and top performers has been the same, which is that this place is not worth the massive stress and anxiety while simultaneously getting more and more cuts to our bonuses and promotions withheld
I couldn’t recommend ZS more. It’s my first and only job, and I hope it continues to be my only job. I’ve been here 6 years and am still as bright eyed and bushy tailed as I was when I first joined. We’re paid very well, get to work on exciting projects (at least my team does), and many of the people I’ve worked with at ZS have become some of my closest friends.
OP I work in our medical affairs practice if you want to DM to learn more but short answer is that it’s a great practice led by great people and we do some really interesting work in a lot of different areas
@OP drop me a note if you are interested in medical
Does ZS pay better?
You can climb faster but you pay in blood and need to be exceptional
