Pros

No Pros for this company. It just ruined my time and efforts.

Cons

Very poor Management, technical managers have Nill knowledge on projects but still behave as if they know everything. 1. Toxic environment of tracking number of hours in front of the system. 2. You will be forced to work for 12-15Hrs per day Even on weekend and you are not even compensated for weekend days. 3. People who join here before will have atleast enough knowledge on there domain. You will get better opportunities outside. 4. If you are in bench start looking for job outside because you don't know when you will get a call from HR asking you to resign. 5. Inefficient staff and team members.

Pros

No pros at all!!! The positive reviews are all paid reviews,they have a team who are paid to make changes.

Cons

Everything!!! 1.Long work hours and no weeekends 2.Pay is very less,they promise Variable pay like 5% 10 % but u hardly get anything in the end. 3.No employee benefits.Their office environment is a joke.They only have one old rusted water dispenser,no coffee machine or not even basic structure in pantry. 4.No cab facility. 5.Managers r useless.They just obey orders from the CEO 6.Forget respect,someone must teach the CEO manners. 7.Managers are easily triggered and they bad mouth anybody and any organisation that challenges their employees with a better offer. 8.You are expected to attend Team calls at odd hours and on weekends.No matter you are on vacation or an event,You will be required to work or will be threatened. 9.Hire and fire is their model.If the client does not wanr,they will fire anybody. 10.Job security is zero. 11.No personal space,No work life balance,No benefits and Zero Employee engagement. 12.Better to stay jobless than to join Photon. Found by Indians in Silicon valley later moved HQ to UK,yet they need to grow on how to treat employee with respect and dignity.
