      Pros

      - Location - International transfer - After Hays HK, you know where you do not want to work AT ALL

      Cons

      - High pressure culture instead of high performance - Work hard always, never work smart ! - Presenteeism more value than efficiency - Ultra micro-management, most KPI's driven company ever - No freedom, no creativity at all - No right to take days off or at least, showing you you should be ashamed to take some - No leadership, only management

      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.
