Pros

The place is so intimidating, there are a lot of things going on and at first it will be overwhelming for a newbie like me, but they assured me that I will be a productive part of the team in no time and with the help of my team mates I handled myself pretty well. They gave me different projects to work on, some of the clients are pretty big, and I always felt like they geared me to be a productive member of the team. Photon is a good place for ambitious and highly self motivated people.

Cons

No coffee machines and lack of employee engagement activities.

Pros

Flexibility in terms of roles. You can move from being a project manager to delivery manager to an account manager, it all depends on your performance and how politically smart you are. Good onsite opportunities for developers and middle management. They pay above the average industry standards. Great work culture and a young and vibrant team.

Cons

Some of their training methods and scheduling could use some work but all in all Photon have the whole process under control.

Pros

The phase in Photon is pretty fast, like a lightning bolt that goes up, I can see Photon evolving as one of the best start out companies for the newly graduated people like me. Photon put me in a team that handles some big clients, that shows how they trust their employees. Photon really is a good company to start out.

Cons

The work can get a little too fast and it is up to you to go out of your limb and comfort zone just to be able to keep up.
