Pros

The company is very good for learning as one will get plenty of challenges and opportunities to solve them. There is lot of pressure if you do not enjoy the job. Otherwise, it is very good and informative and growth oriented

Cons

It is very stressful and one has to compromise on the personal life to do justice to the job as it is very tough . The number of hours at work is above 10 on an average. Though one will get plenty of challenges and opportunities, one should also work overtime to resolve these.

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.
