Pros

hays provides an inclusive workplace that respects and values different cultures. Importantly the pathway to career progression is fair to everyone and is based on merit regardless of employee background.

Cons

The revised Hybrid system- requiring 3 days into office feels like a step backward for work-life balance.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
