Pros

Thank you Photon for the opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t stress this enough, to all those starting out to those starting their careers there is nowhere better to start than Photon, they will give you the experience that you need for the future and the confidence to face everything with a smile and assurance that you will have the job. You will learn everything about technologies, people and politics! Don’t get bogged down by the initial vibes learn to make the most of it and you will be wiser at the end.

Cons

Limited locations, Bangalore is there but most of the accounts and management team is in Chennai. So be prepared to stay in Chennai. Overall lack of recreational areas but they have got a TT table recently for the new block.

Pros

The camaraderie here is remarkable. I had the best two years here at Photon because of the people and the management, they handle the teams and everyone else pretty swell. The work itself is challenging on its own especially when everyday is somehow new from the last. Everyday felt like a day for learning. It’s like the hunger games in here but not as hostile, you learn you survive with the help of your friends and the whole company excels. I had quite a time in Photon, I may say that it was the most fun that I had in my recent memory.

Cons

Pros

They will put everything you have to the test, they will challenge everything about you, but they will never oppose you, you are in the same thing here at Photon. Quite a contradictory there, right? That is just how we roll in here. I worked here for quite a while now and all I can see is a big machinery calmly running faster and faster towards that frontier. They will challenge you to be a better person and to be a good colleague to others. They will put your knowledge to the test and make sure that you absorb as much as you can from the learning part of the day. What I love about Photon is that they are not afraid to hire some new blood.

Cons

They will put everything you have to the test
