Pros

- I eventually got some experience in the React ecosystem and Python, but I could have gained a lot more somewhere else. - There are nice people... who you will interact with via video call

Cons

- Bench time, this resulted in a waste of about a year of my career, was very boring and I couldn't leave because I didn't yet have enough experience. - Below-average pay across the board despite 9-6pm expectation, no real inflation correction - Lackluster projects and no choice - Market downturns... - Lack of culture. Everyone works from home except maybe one day a month in London (not good for learning early in your career when everything is via video call). I was lonely here. - People leaving, what is there to look forward to?

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your time at Zühlke left you feeling disappointed. We know bench time can be tough, especially early in your career, and while we offer internal initiatives to support learning and growth during those periods, we understand this may not have been your experience. Culture is something we all shape, and while we embrace hybrid working, we also invest in creating ways for people to connect — both locally and across Zühlke. We’ll continue to listen and learn from feedback like yours as we evolve. Best regards, Angela Bishop, CEO UK, Member of Executive Team EMEA & Regional Managing Director Cross EMEA

Pros

Zühlke is an excellent if not that well known consultancy offering deep expertise in data, AI, software and digital transformation. Great people to work with, lots of training, mentoring and meet-ups.

Cons

Until recently a global Swiss based hierarchical style got in the way of some UK activities but this has since been acknowledged and revised
