Pros

I would strongly advise job seekers to be very cautious before joining Photon.

Cons

My advice: Unless you are ready to deal with a completely disorganized and disrespectful work culture, stay away from Photon. Their onboarding process is unstructured, their communication is confusing, and they treat candidates poorly even before they officially start.

Not recommended, No projects in the company and blackmailing employees for pay extra amount relieving letter.

Cons

Almost 80% of the employees got suffered from same issue, not giving experience letters, and management giving warning to the candidates, if you didn’t pay, will give the termination letter.
