ZS Career Path
Consultant, 2006
On the work
"On my first project we had to assess the market potential of a very innovative drug in the USA and the top five European countries. The work at ZS is more data driven than in other companies of the industry. There are no weak assumptions, everything is explored until is crystal clear. The analytical skills of your colleagues are outstanding, and as a consultant you get full ownership of the project so you will have lots of opportunities to show your capabilities. The different clients and projects give you the chance to growth professionally with no room to get trapped in a routine."
On life outside work
"I am very interested in football and sports in general, as well as in music, videogames and computers. After work, I often hang out with some colleagues of my office or go to play some sports. Usually I also spend some time at home playing my electric guitar. On weekends, I often fly to Barcelona to meet my family or to any place in Europe to meet some friends. If not, I like to drive my car to visit new places in Germany."
On the Frankfurt office
"Frankfurt is a very international city. It has anything you may need and there are lots of things to do, but without being an extremely huge city, which makes it easy to adapt as a foreigner. Frankfurt is in the heart of Europe and near everything, allowing easy access from its airport to any place in Europe."
