Vault Verdict
As in North America, ZS Europe is a leader within its vertical: the healthcare and pharma space. As a life sciences consulting firm, ZS has established its purpose by developing a portfolio of purpose-driven clients, offering healthcare strategy, operations, analytics, and technology services to some of the EMEA region’s most important health care entities.
Indeed, life sciences have been ZS Europe’s bread and butter thus far, but the firm refuses to pigeon hole itself, instead of ramping up its efforts to diversify its offerings and expand into new areas. Healthcare is a cyclical industry—though one that will always be in high demand—but ZS is actively expanding its services to stay dynamic and competitive in the market. These endeavors ...

Employee Reviews
- "A strong growth trajectory with great people.”
- “First-year will surely be extremely challenging, but if you do manage to get past it, you will start loving the company and its culture, never thinking of leaving it ever. Compensation package will be competitive with the market locally, but you may feel that European savings are not as great as savings in American offices (in case you have an option between the two).”
- “In my view of one the nicest and most relaxed companies to work at. Yes, it is a corporation but has a family feel to it where you are not anonymous but actually have a professional network that will support you.”
- “A firm with nice people that is not competitive internally.”
- “Everyone raves about the culture at ZS and there is a good reason why—it’s simply a great place to work! I think this sets us apart from the competition as on numerous occasions we hear from the clients that they simply enjoy working with us. When I discuss work with friends they are always a bit jealous about how smoothly things run at ZS.”
- “ZS is the best place for you if you want to deliver top-notch work that is implementable and that can truly impact the business of your clients. Pharmaceutical companies love us (and we make sure they do) and so we get to work with really cool projects from the top-most strategic level down to the tactics and implementation. We are passionate about our work and our impact, and so we make sure we work with great people who make our daily journey more pleasant.”
Getting Hired Here
- “I think the initial filter is a bit strict, so you really have to make sure our recruiters see the value in your CV (more so than your CL). Our ideal candidates can be 1 of 3: 1) Business generalist (MBA) with no background in pharma but comfortable with working with data and a passion for solving complex problems, 2) Master/Ph.D. in pharma/healthcare-related sciences with a passion for learning, 3) A combination of both. Whichever way, you'll have to be humble, eager to learn and want to work with people. Any signs of aggressiveness, narcissism or adulation and you're out.”
- "[Company is seeking] smart and humble people who are likable.”
- “The firm’s interview process is rigorous and highly selective.”
- “The process is really smooth and fast which is a huge plus. The interviewers are also polite and friendly and the whole process is very well organized.”
- “We seek people who fit with our culture, are incredibly smart and have the potential to have great impact with clients. Our interview process is known to be one of the hardest in the industry, for good reason.”
