Pros

I joined Photon in 2015 for .Net assignment and Photon provides me a platform to learn new platform like Sitecore and successfully got trained and deployed in Sitecore Assignement now. A special thanks to Anbu, Director Technology who trained me and Training Team for arranging the session at right time.

Cons

I got assigned in multiple project parallely, which leads to shortage in time allocation but it made me to do refine my time management skill effectively.

Pros

Don't have anything , just nothing.

Cons

Just want say one thing , all the single star reviews are genuine others are fake. This is the ,one of those company which has more(US) VP ,director , mangers than any working class. Please Don't ever try to join as Full time to this company, they will make your life hell. One good friend has written very long review about this company , all those things are true and much worse than that. No higher management ever trust you. These people are loosing project in many company , try to save their ship only by abusing the employees.
