Can tell about ZS

• Culture: Excellent. no politics, helpful people.
5/5 in office ; 4/5 in WFH

• WLB: Depends on team. But on an average 2.5/5
Average work hours (excluding breaks) is ~9.5-10
Initially can be 11 considering you will be expected quickly.

• Pay at AC ranges from (11-17). YOY hike is ~12%-18%
Bonus is ~10% of your gross earnings for the year
Bonus is in Dec and hike is in July.

But the higher base you are joining, the lower hike % you might get. It gets capped as they can’t give tremendously more than next layer starting
The next layer that is consultant layer starts from 18

Additional callout: AC to C promotion takes 2-3 years generally

ZS1 I'm not sure which world you live in when you say no politics in ZS. There is no organization where there is no politics, it is a celebral exercise and we are quite smart bunch of people who do smart politics.

Are people are helpful? answer is yes. Will they have you for breakfast to get better opportunity, yes they will.

To answer OP's question culture wise it is a great place to work.

Depends on your profile.
I left ZS after 7 months bcoz ZS operating model is a LOL example for my domain.
One important thing to highlight here is that most of the ZSers go Gaga over their work culture but most of the MNCs have excellent work culture similar or even better than ZS. Ye wo ZSers jinhone bahar ki duniya dekhi hi nhi hai... 🤣😁
If you are into IT tech, then you will enjoy in ZS!😁
WLB is hot topic and it is not good!

Join EY GDS as it will give scope and exposure in different sectors. ZS is mostly about pharma and medtech industry only.

Both are good but go with EY for better exposure as you will get to work on projects from various sectors.

Is it a good decision to join this profile? What would be the day-to-day work of a manager be like?

All your valuable inputs would be really helpful.

PS: Is the designation reasonable? I see some people with 6-7 YOE as managers and with 8-9 YOE as senior managers.
