Pros

Nothing is there for the company

Cons

Hi Everyone, Please don't join this company. Don't fall for paid reviews. This company is very worst I have ever faced in my entire career. The same feedback from a lot of people on my team. They forced you to work more than 8 hours and track it in Prohance. If not met, then it is LOP. They put more work pressure and treat you in an unprofessional way. If you leave due to the work pressure within probation, they ask you to pay 3 months' salary. HR also give the wrong promises, and all are fake ones. They are very unprofessional. Photon = Unprofessional Photon = Micromanagement Photon = Worst place to work.

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.
