WORST COMPANY TO WORK

Pros

There is no good reasons to work in this company.

Cons

Always bad experience I faced from the time I joined this company. They do not bother about employees. They bother only about rules. Photon defined their own rules and regulations and made it as a policy. The company working hour is 10 hours per day. We need to fill the Timesheet everyday, But no use of filling it. All of your salary is calculated by referring Access Log Tool. Access Log Tool also not generating reports properly. If we complaint about that tool, they dont bother about it. They will deduct salary. Also we cannot assure that When they will hold salary, when they will deduct salary. I am 10 year experienced Technical Lead. When I joined Photon, I was happy. After few days, I came to know about HR policies Which is Very very Worst. Project Management also very very worst. Everyday I used to see employees are resigning job. Also heard from some employees they are going to quiet soon. In my 10 years experience I never seen this kind of worst company. ONLY ONE WORD ABOUT THIS COMPANY IS , ..... IF U WANTED TO SPOIL YOUR LIFE, CAREER... YOU CAN JOIN.

Pros

What an amazing experience it was, everything that I did felt so productive and all of my time in Photon was filled with wonderful experiences. I learned about the newest technologies out there and handled my end as n employee. The management really pushed me to be the best that I can be within the boundaries of my limitations and skills. I can safely say that I am a better employee now that I have been to Photon for quite a while. I will never forget the busy atmosphere in there.

Pros

In my time here in Photon I was exposed to some high rate technologies out there, like android and iOS, that alone is a testament that this small and still growing company is one of the few companies to look out for. I had fun in here, fun while earning money? Not that bad, huh. I went here with limited knowledge and came out knowing more than enough to compete for in the top tier jobs for companies out there.
