Pros

Initial salary offered by photon will be much higher than your existing CTC People good at politics will shine here If working only 15 hours / day is a pro (according to photon, it is) big brands clients

Cons

no work life balance if u join here, your job will become your life. no respect u will be treated like a machine had to pay my 2 month salary to company, for leave before 1 year as i coudnt handle the stress. (most humans cant) expected to work for 15 hours every day needed to work on week ends also HR are a waste managers are stupid

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.
