Pros

Good to work if keen to work on mobile related projects, technology and fortune 100 clients

Cons

Company does not invest on employee career development and engagement Attrition rate is very high, company not interested in retaining employees Especially for those with high experienced management profiles work environment is not good. Even a seasoned management professional is expected to manage a single project at task level Not much of flexibility in terms of work, no importance given for your experience, skills, career interests and suggestions not welcome Even the time spent in a rest room gets tracked Politics and favouritism are high Low on mutual self respect shown to employees in terms of treatment and words Un-parliamentary words often used in meetings & normal conversations by management staff

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.
