      Work culture is good. I spent my three years there. Benefits - Practo App, free one time meal and free cab facility. If you don't want a cab facility then you can take TA up to 7,700 per month which is other than CTC benifit (350rs per day). Hays is growing in India(2019 - 450 employees, 2022 end 900 employees and had a plan for 1800 in 2023). Rest Growth and Work life balance depends on the department & Team you are joining

          It's a consultancy company. They will hire you on permanent payroll and then send to their clients. In general, I would advise not to join and look for direct oppertunity.
