Why have there been so many questions about ZS in multiple bowls? Is ZS considered a T2/desirable firm to work for?

Outside of the tiers debate, I would argue you have seen a lot of posts partially due to the fact we haven’t had layoffs and are actually continuing to hire at a time when few others are...

Yes, ZS is T2

likefunny

This talk is crazy. Good marketing on their part, but crazy. Like 80% of their business is in pharma / med device sales and marketing ops. Salesforce alignment, incentive compensation, some pricing projects. What other consulting firms with only low-middle management client stakeholders, all in one industry, doing all ops work, would be considered T2? And their bill rates, progression, and comp are way lower to reflect all this as well. Their rep on this bowl does not reflect reality and it would be pretty foolish for someone to accept an offer there thinking it is as prestigious as T2 (though there are other reasons to work there of course).

Your intel feels to be outdated, or perhaps niched to a particular practice area or team...
I’ve been in the company over a decade and never touched an ops project, SF alignment or incentive comp work. Pipeline, business development / in-licensing and merger work...
We also have R&D teams working on virtual clinical trials, strategy teams working on due diligence work with senior stakeholders in large Pharma.
I’m not saying this makes us T2, but the scope of work far exceeds the impression you have there.

Hey fishes. I have been offered Management Consultant role with CTC break up in terms of JB, RB, fixed and variable. So is the fixed amount my gross salary without any other deduction except TDS, or will the organisation contribution to PF be also deducted from the fixed component? Also, will claimable components like LTA, mobile bill reimbursement etc. be in addition to this fixed component or will they be included in it?
