Vantaggi

One could learn latest technologies if added in a good project as Photon has many Projects in its wing.

Svantaggi

1. No free coffee or tea. 2. Few managers would dump you if you are not buttering them. 3. Variable pay are not paid out at full even if you work hard. Would steal your money in the name of poor company performance 4. Very low hikes, you must get a good package when joining else you are screwed 5. No smooth separation process if you are resigning from the company. They treat you like a dog if you go with resignation processing 6. The owners are very money motive and doesn't care about employee life 7. Worst of all, no work life balance, everyone would have to work mandatory 10 hours, which would get extend everyday obviously. Cause all the projects are taken with a promise of very short notice such as 3 months from the clients, where the project would require at least 6 or more. Then they add very less resources and bill the client with increase in number. So it's like a person have to work the job of two or three. So have to work for more than 12 hrs a day and 6 days a week. 8. No Employee benefits, yes there is a mediclaim which I have never heard anyone got one approved

Vantaggi

Really good company to work for. Health benefits were great and was able to negotiate a good rate for my contract

Svantaggi

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.

Vantaggi

Can be on interesting projects Some really good people If on correct team can be very good conditions such as remote work

Svantaggi

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.
