Pros

Simply nothing. Good I got out early.

Cons

Worst company to work for. Not sure how they are surviving. All the positive reviews are not real. Company or the bosses do not care for emp and you just have to slog n slog for hrs sometimes more than 10hrs. You've to maintain 10 working hours a day. You've to swipe in/out for loo n lunch. Hikes do not exist. Extremely political. They bid for fixed projects, commit unrealistic timelines and then put pressure on emps. Nothing is easy, even the PF transfer Stay away. A big waste of time.

Thanks for sharing your point of view. We would like to respectfully disagree. We work for 8 productive hours a day. Change is constant in our business, and Photon serves customers in an industry that changes daily. We appreciate the hard work invested during your tenure. While we understand there are days where there might be extension required based on the role and the capacity of the employee, this is not a standard. We are just wondering why the operational issues you have mentioned here have not been raised with the respective teams for a overall closure. We urge you to reach out to us @team-hrbp@photoninfotech.net for further discussion.

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.
