      A sweatshop. U.S. side of company is poorly managed to the point of being dysfunctional.

      Pros

      Good opportunities to work on high profile accounts. I gave "Career Opportunities" 3 stars because I'm getting good experience to take to my next job.

      Cons

      Expected to be available 24/7. Usual work week is 60 hours. No compensation. Working on multiple projects with conflicting deadlines makes true agile development impossible. There are no real creative teams. No project management in US side. Constantly switching projects and putting out 'fires'.

      Pros

      It's great to be given the opportunity to work on various technologies. Good for young workers who want to learn new technologies like iOS, android and windows. Good growth prospects for high performers.

      Cons

      If you like sitting in one role then you might get irritated with the role flexibility. There is serious lack of employee facilities like coffee machines, recreational areas, etc. If you don’t like a fast paced, growth oriented environment and prefer a chilled out job don’t join Photon.

      Pros

      Photon took me in, they put everything that I know to the test, I like a place that will test everything that you have first and then take you in with open arms. They trusted me and I am reaping all the benefits. Good part, is working on latest mobile technologies and hardworking coworkers.

      Cons

      There will always be some space for improvements and I would love to suggest some more space for the recreational room and getting coffee vending machines.
