Pros

No pros. You will be treated like sheep

Cons

1.Kiss bye bye to your mental health as every one in management is abusive. 2. There is a 1.5 years of bond period for freshers and 6 month of bond period for experienced candidates. If you break them you have to pay 10℅ of your salary. Plus there is a clause stating that if you don't join the company after accepting the offer letter they will initiate legal notice. Which can affect your overall carer. They won't care what the reason maybe. They just want the money. 3. Work life balance in photon is a myth. Will ask to work on every Saturday and sundays because there is client pressure. There were times when I had to work on public holidays as well. 4 new company policy to work for 8:8 hrs so in total you will end up working 10hrs (8:8+1 hr break) but no salary increment or bonus. Since it's technically not 9hrs of productive time. 5. You will never get any leaves as there is always Pending works. So say goodbyes to your social work and family life. 6. I have worked under 2 managers and both were extremely abusive. Will use abusive language and threats.. 7. No actual salary hike. My salary hike for the last year was 750rs. Even though they claim that company is making huge profit.

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.
