Pros

->This company is good to have a technical growth in your career. ->Almost all projects use the latest techniques in their respective field of development ->If you are have very sound knowledge and work hard you can get high hikes in salary by intimating or poking them.(NOT THROUGH REGULAR APPRAISAL) -> Has few on site opportunity if you work hard and for more that few year

Cons

->Work life balance if very very bad..so if you are a family man/women..then this company is hell. ->No good hike in annual appraisal ->PL encashment and other things are just an illusion...no benefits...so you should use up all the leave before the year end or else its a waste.

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.
