Photon helped me a lot!

Pros

Photon helped me a lot, they are supportive here and very competitive as well. Everything we do is a reward on its own. I handled many good accounts on my own and was exposed to the newest technology like iOS, android, etc out here, enough to make me going as a competitive career starter. I had been in so many other companies but Photon was the first one to give me the freedom to explore things that I have not yet explored before.

Cons

Roles tend to be flexible and hence can get confusing at times. It might be difficult for some people to shift to other technologies but trust me without shifting you won’t have growth. Cafeteria is bit small and need recreational areas.

Pros

I honed my skills to handle some of the fastest systems there is in Photon, that is why I am very grateful to them for giving me the chance. I had the chance to handle some iOS and android in here. The learning curve here is really what matters, it’s like a class every day, everybody is moving and asking questions and answering them at the same time, it can be fast in here, and that makes it more challenging to me. The fast paced workflow is like a rush for me, learning and working at the same time and knowing that you have the same goal with the person beside you are enough reasons to like working here.

Pros

In my time here in Photon I was exposed to some high rate technologies out there, like android and iOS, that alone is a testament that this small and still growing company is one of the few companies to look out for. I had fun in here, fun while earning money? Not that bad, huh. I went here with limited knowledge and came out knowing more than enough to compete for in the top tier jobs for companies out there.

Cons

I went here with limited knowledge and came out knowing more than enough to compete for in the top tier jobs for companies out there.
