      Zero Job safety, hire and Fire with no compensation

      Lead engineer in test
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Only thing you get is Salary, You get to learn and work on new technologies.

      Cons

      No respect for employees. According to them if you stay in office for 9 hours means you doing normal work . They expect you to work for long hours. They will inform you on the same day and ask you to resign on the same day. They have fired many employees on the same day with out prior notice as per the offer letter agreement and with no compensation. No job security, you can loose the job on sameday without prior notice and salary compensation. They ask you to 8.48 as average as your time in, if you maintain less than that they will ask you to come on weekends and do the work . Don't join this Company unless you don't have anyother option.

      Stay away from this company

      Java developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can't think of anything. There's nothing positive to look for.

      Cons

      Bad toilets, bad food, bad management, bad leave policy, bad time management, bad culture. Higher management abuses and yells at their team. The CTO is often found yelling and swearing at other employees. Stuff like 'idiot', 'stupid', 'useless creature' are a norm over here.

      Worst experience

      Software qa engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Simply nothing. Good I got out early.

      Cons

      Worst company to work for. Not sure how they are surviving. All the positive reviews are not real. Company or the bosses do not care for emp and you just have to slog n slog for hrs sometimes more than 10hrs. You've to maintain 10 working hours a day. You've to swipe in/out for loo n lunch. Hikes do not exist. Extremely political. They bid for fixed projects, commit unrealistic timelines and then put pressure on emps. Nothing is easy, even the PF transfer Stay away. A big waste of time.

      Thanks for sharing your point of view. We would like to respectfully disagree. We work for 8 productive hours a day. Change is constant in our business, and Photon serves customers in an industry that changes daily. We appreciate the hard work invested during your tenure. While we understand there are days where there might be extension required based on the role and the capacity of the employee, this is not a standard. We are just wondering why the operational issues you have mentioned here have not been raised with the respective teams for a overall closure. We urge you to reach out to us @team-hrbp@photoninfotech.net for further discussion.
