Pros

Something to learn everyday. Senior management has an open door policy which is good. The pay scale is good comparatively.

Cons

The food quality that is served in cafeteria is pathetic. Work timing is 10 hrs Minimum! For Christs sake try and stick to Market standards .

We are glad that you have had a great work and learning experience at Photon. However, Photon as a policy follows working hours as per the market standard. Work hours may vary based on project dependencies but this is not followed as a standard practice. On our facilities part, we have a qualified vendor providing breakfast, lunch and dinner in our cafeteria. We also have a quick response team in our facilities department to handle issues regarding the quality. We strongly urge you to reach out us @ team-hrbp@photoninfotech.net discuss further on your views. We look forward to hear from you. Thank you.

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.
