Pros

None at all to report.

Cons

Not only did I suffer age discrimination and report Photon to the EEOC, but they tried to cheat me $3000 relocation expenses by deducting it from my final paycheck. I filed a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission. The process took two years! Finally, due to Photon's sloppy accounting, TWC found that they owed me back pay, and they didn't cheat me of relocation expenses. I never received the back pay. I wrote them this week with no response--which is typical for them--mail undeliverable, lawyers who don't show up to calls, emails ignored--tactics used only by shoddy companies.

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.
