A sweatshop. U.S. side of company is poorly managed to the point of being dysfunctional.

Ui/user experience creative lead

Pros

Good opportunities to work on high profile accounts. I gave "Career Opportunities" 3 stars because I'm getting good experience to take to my next job.

Cons

Expected to be available 24/7. Usual work week is 60 hours. No compensation. Working on multiple projects with conflicting deadlines makes true agile development impossible. There are no real creative teams. No project management in US side. Constantly switching projects and putting out 'fires'.

Pros

The thing I like about Photon is they are hands on when it comes to training their employees. You will get to work hands on iOS, Android and Windows Phone tech. Good growth opportunities for high performers. Onsite opportunities for technical folks.

Cons

Noticeable lack of coffee machines and facilities for employee recreation. So used to them from my time at my previous employers.

Pros

Good projects for graphics designers. Good work culture and a good creative team of designers. Access to all the tools Photoshop, illustrator and Corel Draw. Pay is based on experience for laterals.

Cons

The company has limited number of offices across India. I am from Hyderabad and would appreciate Photon opening office in Hyderabad. Also parking is a headache in DLF.
