Never received back pay!

Pros

None at all to report.

Cons

Not only did I suffer age discrimination and report Photon to the EEOC, but they tried to cheat me $3000 relocation expenses by deducting it from my final paycheck. I filed a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission. The process took two years! Finally, due to Photon's sloppy accounting, TWC found that they owed me back pay, and they didn't cheat me of relocation expenses. I never received the back pay. I wrote them this week with no response--which is typical for them--mail undeliverable, lawyers who don't show up to calls, emails ignored--tactics used only by shoddy companies.

Good company to work for an experience

Pros

• Provides benefits such as 401k, dental, and vision insurance. • Has many good clients such as Citi, L'Oréal, Facebook, Toyota, Fidelity, and many more.

Cons

• Promotion process is not great. Even though the client you work for wants you to get promoted, Photon will wait until the year's end and will begin the process in Jan which will come into effect from April. Basically, you are losing another year before you get promoted even if there is an opportunity. • Company policy and Holidays are not in employees' favor.

Pros

They are better than unemployment

Cons

No PTO, no bonuses, no 401k contribution, pay at the bottom end of industry standards. Incompetent management and many throughout the company are completely unmotivated when it comes to learning their job. Oh and company policies include tracking all websites you go to and answering to multiple people who have no idea what you do, explainingv why you went to every single website on the company laptop, including their own client sites.
