      Awesome company to learn and grow

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Variety of work. ZS does strategy projects (MBB comparable) and execution type (Big 4 comparable). There's a number of deep products related to sales and marketing, but there's also a big emphasis on Digital & Tech, a growing PE practice, and ZS also makes and markets IT tools & systems. -Culture: One of the core values is "Treat People Right" and there's a big focus on building a good culture. I don't think it's possible to be a jerk and keep your job for very long. - Entrepreneurial Spirit: I'm essentially building my own business, within a business. I like that I learn how to scale and have autonomy, but also have a safety net and a regular paycheck

      Cons

      - Typical mgmt consulting cons- hours are not 9-5pm.

      Great place to develop as a young business professional

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - You're given an outstanding amount of responsibility early in your career. You'll thrive I f you're the type of person who takes the bull by the horns. - Great culture. The Toronto office is filled with smart, collaborative, and all-around good people who care about you. - Flexible hours and work arrangements; they know you work hard, so managers don't care if you need to work from home or come in late - Fractional staffing means you get a lot of exposure in a short amount of time (~25 projects across 11 clients in 2 years) - Meritocracy - You get smart, fast - You can manage personal commitments if you make them a priority for yourself. Leadership wants you to have a life outside of the office. - Minimal travel - The firm has a great history of growth and is expected to continue that way for the foreseeable future (they are actually actively trying to control the amount of growth to a reasonable level so that the culture is not negatively impacted)

      Cons

      - Typical consulting hours; it ebbs and flows, but expect 50 billable hours per week as a norm - A lot of work is strategic, but some isn't. You need to link up with managers who like you so that you can get the projects you want (again, tyical consulting) - Doesn't have MBB branding - If you are not interested in healthcare, this may not be the place for you (70% of work is healthcare related)

      Good place to work

      Pros

      Great people... some of the smartest you'll ever meet. There is also an ability to work on more projects in the smaller offices than in a larger office (not always true). If you don't specialize you end up knowing sales and marketing in Pharma very very well after only a few years.

      Cons

      Know what you're getting into. This is long hours with a steep learning curve. If you get negative because of long hours and hard work- this isn't the place for you. If you can't push through regardless you probably shouldn't try to get in the door. You'll need to crunch. You have to do it with a smile knowing your working with a great team.
