If the CPG account is General Mills, stay away. One of my good friends worked on the account and it’s a nightmare. Management is petty and plays favorites. They’re very unorganized, resulting in everyone having to work around the clock to meet deliverable deadlines

I’ve stayed at Mindshare for about 8 years and I think there’s a reason. I think Unilever and some of the General Mills brands are doing amazing work. Every agency comes down to who you work for. If you don’t gel with those people, you won’t like your job.
If you’re at the director level and working round the clock, grow up and set some boundaries

worked on UL there, wasn’t a fan. Extremely siloed, top-down, not great collaboration across disciplines. Was great as a resume builder, but not a particularly enjoyable experience.

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?
