Pros

There is a stiff learning curve and you will learn lots of new technologies on various platforms. The work is result driven so it can be rewarding and engaging. There are a lot of opportunities to grow within the company and you will get good increments if you are a high performer. Onsite opportunities within 2 years depending on your performance.

Cons

Roles are flexible and can get confusing at times. There are limited avenues for employees to innovate. There are no coffee machines and limited recreational areas.

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.
