Pros

It has no pros. They will give attractive offer to fall under there trap. Later you will regret.

Cons

Hr person is very rude. The project managers have no knowledge and they act like prime minister of India. If you apply for resignation. They will keep extending the notice period time behind 3 months. You need to work there for more than 9 hours sitting before the machine. They have time tracker in the machine , as well as door swipes. The rest room time and lunch time are not calculated. They have very bad cafeteria and rest room with less space. For 100 person , you have 3 seats. You will Definitely go Sick soon. There on boarding process is very sick.

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.
