Pros

Only thing you get is Salary, You get to learn and work on new technologies.

Cons

No respect for employees. According to them if you stay in office for 9 hours means you doing normal work . They expect you to work for long hours. They will inform you on the same day and ask you to resign on the same day. They have fired many employees on the same day with out prior notice as per the offer letter agreement and with no compensation. No job security, you can loose the job on sameday without prior notice and salary compensation. They ask you to 8.48 as average as your time in, if you maintain less than that they will ask you to come on weekends and do the work . Don't join this Company unless you don't have anyother option.

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.
