Pros

No pros at all!!! The positive reviews are all paid reviews,they have a team who are paid to make changes.

Cons

Everything!!! 1.Long work hours and no weeekends 2.Pay is very less,they promise Variable pay like 5% 10 % but u hardly get anything in the end. 3.No employee benefits.Their office environment is a joke.They only have one old rusted water dispenser,no coffee machine or not even basic structure in pantry. 4.No cab facility. 5.Managers r useless.They just obey orders from the CEO 6.Forget respect,someone must teach the CEO manners. 7.Managers are easily triggered and they bad mouth anybody and any organisation that challenges their employees with a better offer. 8.You are expected to attend Team calls at odd hours and on weekends.No matter you are on vacation or an event,You will be required to work or will be threatened. 9.Hire and fire is their model.If the client does not wanr,they will fire anybody. 10.Job security is zero. 11.No personal space,No work life balance,No benefits and Zero Employee engagement. 12.Better to stay jobless than to join Photon. Found by Indians in Silicon valley later moved HQ to UK,yet they need to grow on how to treat employee with respect and dignity.

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.
