What's It Like to Work at ZS?

ZS Employee Perspectives

It’s very cool to be developing products and serving clients while being under the umbrella of an established organization. I’d say that’s why ZS is a good place to be for women in tech. They can constantly be in startup mode while also being nurtured. ZS takes care of our people.

In 2025, Kumar Ritwik, a partner in the ZS Boston office, celebrated 15 years with ZS. He attributes this milestone to two things: Consistently engaging work and a culture grounded in meaningful, collaborative relationships.

“When I joined ZS straight out of school, I never imagined it would become the only job I’d ever want. I started in our Delhi office and moved to Boston in 2015. What’s kept me here isn’t just the role — it’s the constant evolution of the work itself. Even after all these years, I find myself energized by the challenges we solve and the impact we create.”
