      The work is very challenging.

      Pros

      The work is very challenging. I get motivated in a daily basis because the work is something that I consider to be one of the most fulfilling things that I do. You get to working on cutting edge technology on all web and mobile platforms. Good onsite and growth opportunities as they are expanding big time.

      Cons

      The office seriously lacks coffee vending machines and recreational areas for employees. Also there should be impromptu cabs for employees who leave late.

      Will get to handle a small team on your own.

      Pros

      At Photon, you get to work on omnichannel projects for large US clients. It’s a fairly mid size IT company so you will get the opportunity to interact with CTO and CEO of the company and learn about their vision. Best place for an MBA to join as you will be put into leadership positions instantly and will get to handle a small team on your own.

      Cons

      Roles can be flexible and can get confusing, HR should send detailed JDs for each role to avoid confusion. Overall the top management is too busy and can skip town halls sometimes which can be frustrating for employees as the information doesn’t reach them in time

      Nothing but awful.

      Pros

      I added big name brands to my resume from working here. Other than that, there's not much good to say about it.

      Cons

      The management is awful. The workload vs the amount of time to work on it is awful. The offshore team that we work with is inexperienced and halters the design process that we have.
