Most of them do, yeah. You may hear a bit of a “tongue click” or something with others first before the “s”. A lot of first-language English speakers seem to really struggle when they see two consonants together that they haven’t previously encountered.

Especially at the start of words, see also e.g. pterodactyl, which from what I’ve gathered native english speakers just pronounce without the p.
