Pros

Photon was a life changing experience. It helped me to shape my career and learnt a lot. Michael, my manager is one of the best leaders in the IT industry and he is always there to support you whatever it may come to. I have learnt a lot under his guidance. He is always available for his team and Photon provides equal opportunity for everyone of it’s employees to grow. The company has SOPs in place and is good place to learn and grow. You can also get a chance to travel US if you perform well and get a visa. Though my visa was not cleared by the embassy but Michael tried his level best to call me to US for Photon World. If you are looking for a company with work life balance, then Photon is a must go.

Cons

Lack of tea and coffee machine is the only cons.

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.
