Pros

There are none. They live in an unrealistic world

Cons

All the good reviews are fake. They expect employees to work after hours, check their emails before sleeping, show up an hour before, and leave an hour late. This organization lacks diversity and structure. F-bombs fly in meetings daily. Management thinks they own everyone and they treat their employees as such. This company needs a whole new model. They will whine that work is not being done. Well, it will be if you don't hold 3 meetings every day for an hour each to scream at people. This model does not work in the USA. Don't bother with this organization. You will only waste your time.

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.
