I’ve never heard of Sia so going to recommend ZS

What role within ZS? Are you going to do consulting (DAA, SIP, ADS) operations (BO) or technology (BT)? In what office? Honestly since I joined I loved it here. You are literally one click away from any principal in any practice area and everyone has been so chill, helpful and cool

Thanks for sharing your experience.

What’s the bonus percentage range at ZS from your experience?

ZS also mentioned they give 8-10% bonus raise on base every July is it true?

Interviewed at both. I liked ZS over Sia because they were more structured and organized over Sia. I just had a negative interviewing experience with Sia

@SC2 yes! Is that too low?

What practice at sia? If it’s Life Sciences, it’s a relatively new practice where ZS is a lot more established in that space and ZS most likely has a lot more strategy work. I also agree with the A1, from my experience at Sia they’re very disorganized, and I’m not sure if you would realistically get close to a 20% bonus

Bonus and raises are typically 8-15% at the A/AC/C level, but higher for promotion years and/or unusually strong firm performance.

During Covid, we had 3 different “success bonuses” for example because of growth.

Also much higher during promotion years.

Work life balance is extremely poor in BT.
