Pros

It was hard to part with the whole Photon culture, Photon left a very distinct experience in me. Photon gave me the opportunity to excel and work with the companies that I really wanted to be a part of. I can say that being a person that is IT inclined Photon is like a place where I can challenge myself and really validate where I want to be or what I really want to do, because there are a lot of several fields that Photon can present to you. There is the mobile development team, web development team, API management, etc. Compensation is above average.

Cons

There are quite a number of employees in the whole office and it could get a bit crowded to the down time areas particularly in the cafeteria. There could be a lot of people in there during break times. Need more corporate communications.

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.
