Pros

No Politics, decent pay for senior members (only), new technologies

Cons

1. EXXXTREEMEE Pressure 2. Very Very bad culture and and sub-zero respect for individuals 3. Such a bad place for senior members, that very few delivery managers stick in the company. 4. Too much of productive hour requirement - the shift is from 11AM to 9 PM which is made common for all. This ten hours requirement is office is something I have unheard of in any other company. This is a main motivator for any person to leave the company.

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.
