Pros

Sorry to say but nothing.

Cons

I made a lifetime mistake to join full-time Photon. I will regret this in my full life. If you are good at buttering upper management and telling lie, this company is for you. No accountability no respect for the employee.

Pros

Flexible timings. Nothing other than that

Cons

Small canteen( I mean literary small, you'll have to wait 15-20 mins to get place for lunch). Management is not very good. They will make random plans which no one can cop up with.
