Would anyone working at ZS Associates be willing to discuss day-to-day work and type of projects, preferably at the consultant level? Trying to make the switch to strategy consulting and want to see if my background would fit what they are looking for. I would really appreciate any time anyone has, even if it’s just for an email or two.

A few years ago, LEK interviewed me for a more junior position. Actually, interviewer’s attitude was terrible. About 10 minutes into the interview, he stopped and interrupted me while I was responding, and he said “It’s over, you failed”. I never had that attitude from any interviewer so far, while being interviewed by 4-5 consulting firms. It speaks volumes about their culture. It was a face to face interview at an MBA conference.
Honestly, I like ZS culture, because in ZS, I will never see a person that can act like this on an interview. If you have communication skills, it is obvious that you will treat people right. I’m not so sure how LEK treats its employees and clients, having had this negative experience.
Sample size one but I also interviewed with LEK and had a good experience… People were nice throughout the process.
Hours will be higher. Work will be broader and more strategy-focused, which I think generally translates to a broader set of exit opportunities.
Interview process stresses more client-facing skills IMO.

AC1, you might want to get out of the tunnel you're sitting in!
Comp is much higher if you move to M or above roles.
