Pros

Difficult to find out any pros, better to be job less.

Cons

Don't spoil your time, pathetic company, fake review by HR, difficult to breath in side company. 1. 9 hours inside office. Your washroom or canteen breaks also will be considered as outside office. 2. Worst management. Deliver managers behave like they are next to Good. Use filthy languages. 3. All managers, delivery managers are puppets. Entire company is two mens' show. 4. You will hardly find any good employee who is working more than one year. If you stay here for more than one year, even you can become manager/DM 5. Worst office/work culture. Better to say, no culture at all. 6. They can fake anything. Even they're faking glassdoor reviews. Check rating trend. The reviews suddenly became excellent when company's policies became bad to worse. Stay far far away from this company.

Pros

At first I was intimidated with the amount of things that were happening in Photon, the work load, the chaos inside the whole office, the constant buzz and the going through and through the multiple rooms in here. That was a scary part of the process I suppose, but they helped me to ease into it. Overall they provide an amazing experience of working on cutting edge technologies like iOS Android, and Windows Phone. They have fortune 500 clients and interesting projects.

Cons

Cafeteria needs to be bigger and more recreational areas are needed. We need more updates from the management on what is happening in the organization so more town halls please.

Pros

Thank you Photon for the opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t stress this enough, to all those starting out to those starting their careers there is nowhere better to start than Photon, they will give you the experience that you need for the future and the confidence to face everything with a smile and assurance that you will have the job. You will learn everything about technologies, people and politics! Don’t get bogged down by the initial vibes learn to make the most of it and you will be wiser at the end.

Cons

Limited locations, Bangalore is there but most of the accounts and management team is in Chennai. So be prepared to stay in Chennai. Overall lack of recreational areas but they have got a TT table recently for the new block.
