      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Something to learn everyday. Senior management has an open door policy which is good. The pay scale is good comparatively.

      Cons

      The food quality that is served in cafeteria is pathetic. Work timing is 10 hrs Minimum! For Christs sake try and stick to Market standards .

      We are glad that you have had a great work and learning experience at Photon. However, Photon as a policy follows working hours as per the market standard. Work hours may vary based on project dependencies but this is not followed as a standard practice. On our facilities part, we have a qualified vendor providing breakfast, lunch and dinner in our cafeteria. We also have a quick response team in our facilities department to handle issues regarding the quality. We strongly urge you to reach out us @ team-hrbp@photoninfotech.net discuss further on your views. We look forward to hear from you. Thank you.

      Stay away from this company if you value etiqutte and work life balance

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Learn a lot and quickly

      Cons

      1. They negotiate your pay several times until you finally give up (called at street bargaining) 2. No work life balance - They expect you to work 24/7. I am serious, including weekends and after going home after regular hours 3. regular working hours in 10 and not 8 4. Consultants dont get paid for the extra hrs. if you demand, they will just let you go and give the reason as "performance not upto the mark" 5. Management is sick. Micro manage a lot. dont care about lower level employees and treat them as dogs/slaves. They talk mostly in local language (Tamil i suppose) 6. Those who fight back or take courage to speak up against the process are let go. 7. If you quit, they threaten to ruin your career, not give recommendation/experience letters 8. Upper management (CIO, CTO etc) only talk foul language to others.
