Pros

1)Folk of knowledge less Senior employees in Leading roles - u can laugh at times thinking about there decisions. 2)Family bound HR people-- Every newly employed employee will be a relative of some or the other despite the technical competency they have. Photon Family ;) 3)Some managers will be acting as our personal securities so you are safe always.( even they will take a note about the time u spend in rest room, they will be sitting next to you in cafeterias too, so nobody can attack you .) 4)More caring about our career and development. -- Even when u are sick and admitted in hospital the y wont approve your leave for the day, you should work hard to grow in your career dude!!. 5)Hikes were enormous -- i took help of load man to take the hikes given from the organization. 6)Friendly organization employees are just like a family--- yes only family members will be referred in for any project needs 7)Quick response to any query on Appraisal / Hike related issues: managers will tell its done, please speak with HR, Raising a ticket in HR will just be answered within 2 years i think. (Mine still in open state ) ;) 8)Good place to learn -- skill less managerial people behaving like superb skilled so you can learn good acting skills here. 9) Always a fun place to be in-- (daily you can laugh enormously thinking about office.) 10) Updated every day-- i am updating myself every minute how to play internal politics.

Cons

So many negative opinion about the company in glassdoor, even then they are not correcting it. I found it hard to list out every positive things about the organization.

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.
