Pros

Photon was a life changing experience. It helped me to shape my career and learnt a lot. Michael, my manager is one of the best leaders in the IT industry and he is always there to support you whatever it may come to. I have learnt a lot under his guidance. He is always available for his team and Photon provides equal opportunity for everyone of it’s employees to grow. The company has SOPs in place and is good place to learn and grow. You can also get a chance to travel US if you perform well and get a visa. Though my visa was not cleared by the embassy but Michael tried his level best to call me to US for Photon World. If you are looking for a company with work life balance, then Photon is a must go.

Cons

Lack of tea and coffee machine is the only cons.

Pros

Salary on time Company has Fortune 500 clients . It will look good on resume for next job hunt.

Cons

1) No concept like Work life balance . I worked in team where I have to work 3 full weekends in just 2 months even after slogging 10 hrs in weekday . 2) all projects are hectic and always require weekend support even after slogging in weekdays. 4 ) i got finally relieved when project got over. But in next project , same hectic hours was demanded by new manager and I had no chance but to resign and come out. There is no proper planning and work life balance for anyone.

Pros

1.It is a good place to work and we can learn a lot of things in a short span of time. 2. We get an opportunity to work with latest technologies. 3. Always can seek assistance from co-workers who are friendly by nature. 4. Rewards in the form of salary hike can be expected if the management feels the employee has right skills.

Cons

1.Work life balance was almost null right from the beginning. 2.Cafeteria food can be better. Nothing is free(coffee or tea) inside except water. 3.Now in this WFH period, they installed tracker software to monitor the employees which has received widespread criticism(lack of trust from management). 4. No fun activities or games. Communication with HR only happens when the employee resigns(not even yearly once they ask about how you feel and what can be changed). 5. Each designation you have to serve for 2 years to be promoted. And with designation/grading levels(I,II,III,IV) now introduced you can dream of reaching a higher position only after 10+ years. 6. VP component in Salary is just indirectly stealing money from our pocket. You rarely get the full amount.
