Pros

Will promise high salary and also benefits on completing one year or plus with the company

Cons

You will never get any benefits that they promise (especially the promises about future). They don't have dedicated client, you will go for a per person contract with the client (and not a fixed budget contract). So if client goes for a rampdown or budget cut these guys are incapable of saving you. And adding to the fact that they dont have any Fixed budget projects or dedicated clients they mostly will not be able to find a proper project for you and there bench policy changes every week. I GOT LAID OFF WITH A NOTICE PERIOD OF 2 HOURS

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.
