      Though on paper Photon claims to have startup culture but it's more like a play school

      Pros

      Photon has played vital role in derailing my career. I am very happy that I didn't join this company as fresher. Though lost 1 year of my career but learnt a very important lesson that never choose any company without proper background research.

      Cons

      Since I have too many points to mention under this section, I will try to keep it simple with short pointers 1 The official work timing in this company is 10 hours, which I suppose is against 'Labour Law' in India 2 Swipe in /out mechanism tracks every movement of employees, which clearly signifies how much company management trust their resources 3 Management do not follow any policy designed by them. The policy documents available in company portal are not detailed enough which gives leverage to management to play with thier resources 4 Photon has no employee friendly ploicy and they try to own resources. During my short tenure I have received multiple mails regarding conversion of weekends into working days 5 Employees were treted very badly during the most critical time of Chennai flood. Resources were pushed to travel to Bangalore with no proper accomodation and conveyance 6 Company claim to execute projects in Agile process but under the pool they follow waterfall model I have many more points to mention under the section but I would like to share the list directly with Photon HR team.

      Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. The productive hours are in line with the client requirements and is followed in most of the MNCs which also is very well within the law requirements. Apart from this the timing itself is flexible unlike companies who penalize for late coming. Photon offers a range of employee benefits including medical coverage, marriage loans, Official travel assistance (domestic and international), Relocation benefits, Certification policy to encourage/support employee to up skill on latest technology and so on. In case of criticality of projects there might be instances where employees will support on weekends for which Compensatory leaves are provided accordingly. We appreciate you sharing the feedback with us and it would be great if you throw some more detailed insights by connecting with our HR team - team-hrbp@photoninfotech.net. We are always looking at ways we can make improvements and make Photon a better place to work. Best Regards

      Pros

      My friend and I have been working for Photon and it is the best. I am really happy that I landed a job here at photon. They gave me the opportunities to better and improve myself. I am earning enough to support my family and I am learning a lot of good stuff from the tech industry.

      Cons

      We all love the pantry but it can get a bit crowded in the area. We often go outside to eat and sometimes it can be a tedious process since we have to go in and out of the building just to get lunch and have a space for ourselves. We often go back from lunch breaks a bit late and anxious.

      Pros

      I decided to go ahead and try Photon Infotech since every one of my friends told me to try it out and just see what will happen. I got selected and I am working here for almost four months now and all I can say is that everything about Photon Infotech is above the standards that I was expecting. They have good clients that will rival any international companies out there. I’ve made a good choice by choosing Photon Infotech.

      Cons

      I hope there is a lot more space in the parking area. I always go here a bit earlier and still there is not enough parking spaces around the building because there are so many motorcycles in the parking lot.
