Pros

Photon really nailed the head for me. I have never thought that I would like the way they handle things in here. I am a bit of an introvert, so most of the time I keep stuff to myself but I wanted to excel too, that is a bit of a contradiction for me. I tried to go into Photon for some experience for work, at first it was so intimidating, everybody was so fast with their work and they are quite knowledgeable. My first few days was full of anticipation and fear, I asked questions after question and they answered all of them with much clarity and explained everything in a calm manner, withing my first week I noticed that I enjoy this kind of fast moving work place. My personality decided to turn for the better, thanks to photon I found my calling and I learned a lot, changed my view of the world and opened the door for a new one, full of opportunities.

Cons

No more than few coffee machines. We need that in the office and to think. Coffee for the people! We need it.

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.
