Pros

I am willing to admit that I was quite hesitant at first to accept the offer from Photon. It is after all a large company with so much great clients all around the globe. The job is a bit overwhelming at time but I can manage, the important part is that the compensation is adequate and I am learning a lot from the experience.

Cons

Due to the large amount of clients and projects, the roles of the employees can get flexible and unpredictable at times. It creates confusion and often too distracting. The parking area is a bit packed in my opinion, I tried to park my scooter the other day and there is nearly no space enough to accommodate the vehicles.

Pros

if you ended with right managers its a heaven to work. Good pay if you negotiate it first time itself. Lot of good projects to work in. You will get good experience in all stage of projects.

Cons

You need to please the managers even though you are technically good. Technical people are not treated at par with managers.

Nice place to work Good technical team Nice place to learn

Cons

I have given interview more than 3 times The technical teams really appreciate my knowledge and skills but the HR is so rude that he never pick my calls or ever give response to my calls or emails. No transparacy while selection of candidate. Please be clear and dont play with careers...
