Pros

I joined Hays 9-months ago and I couldn't be happier. The inclusive office vibes are so there and the work is engaging and exciting. There's also loads of free training and development with heaps of colleagues being promoted and moving internally - nationally & globally!

Cons

None - Loving life at Hays!

Pros

They have good pharma clients you can work for

Cons

Terrible pay, almost no vacation days compared to other agencies like Syneos or TFS, absolutely no benefits (ticket restaurant, gym, etc), completely bare minimum package. It’s so bad that the company I’m contracted to work for will no longer work with Hays to find candidates as they are aware that everyone at hays is very unhappy
