Hi Photonite, we are happy you have been part of Photon for 3+ years where you have been able to find growth in terms of learning, this wouldn't have been the case if the culture within Photon is like you claim it to be. Though few temporary policy changes have been made during this pandemic period to align to teleworking, this does not affect the long term benefits of the employees. This is not just with Photon but with the industry as a whole. We are still here to support if you would like to reach out to aid you better.

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.
