Pros

Hike when you join the company and working under pressure

Cons

There is no work life balance.They wont follow any ethics.Manager itself will ask you to work on task eventhough you dont have access to VDI with your credentials.He will ask you to work with someothers credentials.Most of the times managers wants to satisfy the clients.They wont bother about employees.You need to work for min 11 to 13 hours.They will schedule meetings at odd timings.If you are married guy this is the not good place.If you want to get default rating also you need to work min 11 hours or else they give less rating.Their expectations are more.ITs with all project managers.They need everything within less time.You dont have choice to give estimation time.If you have any doubts ask any of employee from Photon except managers and Hrs.

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.
