      Pros

      Sure you can work on some big clients. But who cares when the rest of your life is horrible? Go work on smaller clients and be thankful you read this and got out before the pain began.

      Cons

      Terrible work environment. Slave-like work conditions. Epic level mean-ness you'd never think possible. Get out now. No growth opportunities. No training. No phones (for goodness sake) - pay for your own work calls! Travel during your personal time to clients. Accidentally damage your laptop, pay for your own repairs! No public holidays. Mandatory Saturday work days. Screaming abuse (literally) from management. Name calling ("you're all monkeys" is the best one). No interest in the quality of work you put out, just profit profit profit. Another favorite line from management "We only start judging you from 6pm onwards" i.e. they don't care less if you're good at your job, they just want to squeeze extra free work hours out of you, then only like you if you're here until 10pm every night. This place is literally out of the movies and should be in "Horrible Bosses" or something. All the positive comments you see here are becuase the offshore employees have been forced to write them.

      You seemed to have mentioned some serious accusations with no actual data points. As mentioned by you, if you are currently an employee of Photon, we urge you to have a look at our employee benefit policies first before jumping into any conclusions. There are ample growth opportunities and training (technical and soft skills) available, which if utilized right will move any employee up the career ladder. We fail to understand how low quality work will be tolerated by the big clients as you have mentioned. Please reach out to HR Business Partner Team to talk facts.

      Pros

      Really good company to work for. Health benefits were great and was able to negotiate a good rate for my contract

      Cons

      Communication could improve in terms of staying in contact with the contractor. Working with the individual for their next role as the contract is nearing an end would be an area of opportunity as well.

      Pros

      Can be on interesting projects Some really good people If on correct team can be very good conditions such as remote work

      Cons

      Zero opportunities for growth Limited to no work/life balance No Severance Do not pay when on the bench Wrong team or manager the hr insanity can make it rough (One year they decided july 4th was not a holiday another they decided to lower the salary and increase the percentage that was bonus effectually giving everyone a pay cut).. Honestly a 2 might being generous but i have worked with some nice people there and the vast majority of the people were nice and good just wanting to get the job done . Any 5s are probably fake or the lucky few that do not have to deal with Photon Hr.
