Pros

I am willing to admit that I was quite hesitant at first to accept the offer from Photon. It is after all a large company with so much great clients all around the globe. The job is a bit overwhelming at time but I can manage, the important part is that the compensation is adequate and I am learning a lot from the experience.

Cons

Due to the large amount of clients and projects, the roles of the employees can get flexible and unpredictable at times. It creates confusion and often too distracting. The parking area is a bit packed in my opinion, I tried to park my scooter the other day and there is nearly no space enough to accommodate the vehicles.

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.
