Pros

1. The company has taught me how to not run an IT organization 2. How best you can excuse from work, which basically 90% of the employees do

Cons

1. So called top management has no idea what they talk about. I am 100% sure the company CEO/CTO has no idea what RPA, ML-AI etc. is. They are still stuck in web 2.0 2. Horrible cafeteria - the food literally use to stink. The company has no credibility to attract a proper vendor 3. The Delivery/ Project managers have no technical expertise. Not even basic HTML and XML 4. All client calls use to be joke where client tries to explain the requirement and Business Analyst use to translate in local language to the team lead 5. They had no idea what basic hygiene means. All toilets use to get clean only once a day 6. The Chennai office looks like a pilgrimage where all employees are staying in one big giant room and Bangalore office looks like a servant quarter

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.
