Pros

Nothing to say about this

Cons

I was working for 2 years, due to internal policies and team manager people started to leave the team, so the burden of workload came to me. So I worked hard, day and night, for some issues I was called at night 3 am, I supported it. Everything was going smooth, one day a new manager came, he made a junior resource to join the team who is known to him from his previous work company, he got all the KT from me and next day he just fired me away, in Teams meeting, just like a trash paper. I was devastated, my marriage is delayed due to that incident. I lost all my self confidence and went to depression. Too many micromanagement. Worst company. What you see in LinkedIn are just rosy pictures to lure outside people, like a mosquito UV trap, come in and get caught. No work life balance, you get monitored in your laptop by pre installed software by the IT team, minimum 9 hours working or else auto mail triggers to CEO and HR and you need to justify the reason or put leave.

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.
