Pros

They Push you onto high Profile Projects without any formal training. They may may you higher than others but not worth it. Poor reputation of Photon Employees in industry.

Cons

Hire Fire is very common, Pathetic work culture, They will Abuse you and blame you for every thing, The Top management is a bunch of Jerks who think they are GOD and are doing you a favor by recruiting you. They are losing all their top accounts and employees in Bangalore and US because of these policies.

There is no Pros for this company.

Cons

I have a joining later from photon and I had to join in this month but when I reached to the office to join the company on joining date then HR said once client interview is done and you will get the project then we will onboard we will don’t have the bench policy. But they not inform before joining date , when I reached to the office to join then they inform me joining process. Finally they not onboarded me and I wasted my time and money both.
