Is there anyone in ZS Pune who thinks the work life balance is good. I have received an offer from them but employees told me they work for 14 hours regularly. I dont want to work more than 8 hours a day. Should I not join even if they offer good package?

No way if you join ZS and get to work only for 8 hrs

It won’t be 14 hours - that is on rare occasions or if you fked up on a deliverable. As someone who has been in the firm for 4+ years, expect 9-10 hours of regular work and 10-12 hours on hectic days, which can vary based on which project you get.

Why did you not switch ? You have a lot of experience...

It's 12 hours on any given day, also please note you wont be able to log off before 9 PM atleast. So decide accordingly

The additional package in comparison to other companies is for the additional hours you will be working beyond 8 hours.

Hope you understand the logic.

Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.

Brand planners, how much time do you typically get when you’re on a new account writing a brief for a new integrated campaign? Do you find yourself having to negotiate/push back with account folks so you have the time to do it properly? Curious with shortening timelines these days how long you all have to think about a brand brief.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
