Pros

No pros except if you get good hike during offer.

Cons

I have just joined this company and found my self in a hell so for saving others i just write this review. 1.Long and strict work hours 10 , in which 9 hours must be in office area, Outside the office area timing will be less from your total IN & OUT time. 2. No Coffee Machine and telephone at desk.(Is it true ??Yes it is true ) 3. None of the policy employee friendly. 4.If they offer you on-Site (Don't be happy) then there is hidden agreement about your stay in company minimum years. 5.No work life balance and no work from home. 6.No cab n meal for late night and weekends and No HR policy for same.So you have to go home from office in mid night and also order food from your pocket. 7. Very small cafeteria and limited option, Not good for everyone if you don't have your luch box and due to strict 9 hours office area rule you can't think for go outside. 8. will add more as no pros in company

We appreciate you sharing your review. Although, we would like to reiterate that there are multiple things that you have mentioned that are far from on the ground scenario. For example we do have policies related to late night travel and food reimbursements for weekend work. We think it would help if you connect with us team-hrbp@photon.in to get clarity and discuss on your concerns if any.

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.
