Pros

The salary is credited On-time

Cons

There are many. During covid, no salary if your project is completed and until you are allocated to some project. Even they won't relieve if you got other opportunity saying the notice period should be served. That too without salary If you worked an hour less than stipulated, they will ask to apply for leave. No proper facilities like a cafeteria as it very small that you find trouble finding a place to have your lunch No coffee vending machine even inside the office. No cab facility even for female employees. The cab is provided only if you work until 11.30

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.
