ZS Associates: How well known

How well known is ZS Associates in the management consulting world? I've heard a bit about it, and they seem to focus a lot on several industries (pharma, telecom, financial services). Would love to hear thoughts about it.

They have a pretty solid rep in my opinion. Strongest in Chicago/Evanston and great ties to MBA programs there. I know them mostly for work in marketing in biopharma.
