Pros

Good training for new starters

Cons

Everyone ultimately a number. Very short term outlook. KPIs suffocate entrepreneurial spirit. The business prefers employees to "do as they are told" and not to have their own views. Great employer for consultants with no experience or consultants wanting to be told what to do every hour. Move consultants around too much, not allowing them to dominate their market as individuals.

Hays Response

You and I have been at Hays for the same amount of time and at the same level yet your experience is so vastly different to mine and I question if we do have a short term outlook considering our longevity with Hays. After 10 years of being at Hays you would be very aware that we do promote based on merit, not politics and as a Director yourself (one of our highest operational levels), I dare say your promotions were based on your hard work and not your ability to be political. Regardless, you are very much entitled to your opinion and after 10 years with Hays we wish you the best with your future career.
