      Pros

      You can learn technology to an extent

      Cons

      * When company is running out of projects, They will ask the employee to take leave ( Forced Leave) If the employee doesn't have leave balance then it will go as LOP * They have a worst Activity Tracker and according to that tracker if you don't have 8 HRS then Management will ask you to apply for leave * Work life balance is terrible * 99.9 % of the time they think profit centric and not about employees

      Its good to know that you had a good learning curve with Photon. We would like to emphasize that our PMO team is working exclusively to ensure that employees are optimally allocated to the projects. In this pandemic period, as we are working remotely, all IT organizations are exploring ways to report productivity to the clients without compromising the work life balance for employees. The tracking is not for the hours as you have mentioned, but for the actual work contribution. This also ensures to mitigate any areas where employees might overwork as well. You can reach us here team-hrbp@photon.in for any further clarification.

      Pros

      Good place to work because of a healthy work culture. Good compensation compared to companies in the same bracket. Overall good exposure to mobile technologies like iOS, Windows phone and Android. Good growth prospects for high performers. Onsite opportunities and overall less politics compared to other mid level IT companies.

      Cons

      Aggressive work culture which can look daunting. Overall not a company for just filling in the hours. There are no coffee machines and below average cafeteria.

      Great Company to start a Career

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have been working here for 2+ years after my graduation and I have learned so much about technologies. The work culture is fast paced and hectic but rewarding. There is no minimum work cap for onsite unlike big IT companies which have a minimum 3 year cap. You get access to various devices like iPhones, iPads, Windows phone etc to work with. This is the place to be if you are crazy about mobiles and mobile technology.

      Cons

      Overall they regard much for employee welfare as there are no coffee machines, cafeteria sucks also lack of any events of any sort or team building activities. Also there is no game rooms, atleast a TT table or Carrom Board should be there. Also Parking space is limited in DLF and it takes ages to find a parking.
