They are very different. IQVIA is a public company. Their main product is data.

ZS is in general a nice place to work at. Pay is decent too. But only 5-10% of what they do is considered strategy. For instance, they have a huge BT arm.

LEK is considered 100% strategy and pays the highest. The exits would be better but hours can be a little higher compared to ZS depending on your level.

C1, yeah AFAIK the SIP track in our APAC offices run on a generalist model (might have some alignment to specific practice areas but no official teams like in the US)

like

ZS has the best culture and credibility, LEK is a grind but pays well and IQVIA is not in the same zip code 😂

funnylike

LEK2, able to share what are some main differences between the 2 firms you have experienced? Also is this experience APAC-specific?

Iqvia beats ZS ass in Europe and APAC as Vault rankings have continously proven

funny

Not that Vault rankings matter…. but didn’t ZS rank #3 in healthcare consulting behind McK and BCG this year? IQVIA was #8, no?

funny

Also interested in the same for EU 👍🏻
