Pros

Good place for non-imaginative people and those who don't want to succeed in life

Cons

Full of politics, no credibility in ratings for appraisal, demoralising. Rather than buying cheaper goods , should invest in quality

Pros

Sure you can work on some big clients. But who cares when the rest of your life is horrible? Go work on smaller clients and be thankful you read this and got out before the pain began.

Cons

Terrible work environment. Slave-like work conditions. Epic level mean-ness you'd never think possible. Get out now. No growth opportunities. No training. No phones (for goodness sake) - pay for your own work calls! Travel during your personal time to clients. Accidentally damage your laptop, pay for your own repairs! No public holidays. Mandatory Saturday work days. Screaming abuse (literally) from management. Name calling ("you're all monkeys" is the best one). No interest in the quality of work you put out, just profit profit profit. Another favorite line from management "We only start judging you from 6pm onwards" i.e. they don't care less if you're good at your job, they just want to squeeze extra free work hours out of you, then only like you if you're here until 10pm every night. This place is literally out of the movies and should be in "Horrible Bosses" or something. All the positive comments you see here are becuase the offshore employees have been forced to write them.

You seemed to have mentioned some serious accusations with no actual data points. As mentioned by you, if you are currently an employee of Photon, we urge you to have a look at our employee benefit policies first before jumping into any conclusions. There are ample growth opportunities and training (technical and soft skills) available, which if utilized right will move any employee up the career ladder. We fail to understand how low quality work will be tolerated by the big clients as you have mentioned. Please reach out to HR Business Partner Team to talk facts.
