Pros

There is no good reasons to work in this company.

Cons

Always bad experience I faced from the time I joined this company. They do not bother about employees. They bother only about rules. Photon defined their own rules and regulations and made it as a policy. The company working hour is 10 hours per day. We need to fill the Timesheet everyday, But no use of filling it. All of your salary is calculated by referring Access Log Tool. Access Log Tool also not generating reports properly. If we complaint about that tool, they dont bother about it. They will deduct salary. Also we cannot assure that When they will hold salary, when they will deduct salary. I am 10 year experienced Technical Lead. When I joined Photon, I was happy. After few days, I came to know about HR policies Which is Very very Worst. Project Management also very very worst. Everyday I used to see employees are resigning job. Also heard from some employees they are going to quiet soon. In my 10 years experience I never seen this kind of worst company. ONLY ONE WORD ABOUT THIS COMPANY IS , ..... IF U WANTED TO SPOIL YOUR LIFE, CAREER... YOU CAN JOIN.

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.
