Pros

Nothing to say about this

Cons

1. There is a 1.5 years of bond period for freshers and 6 month of bond period for experienced candidates. If you break them you have to pay 10℅ of your salary. Plus there is a clause stating that if you don't join the company after accepting the offer letter they will initiate legal notice. Which can affect your overall carer. They won't care what the reason maybe. They just want the money. 2. Work life balance in photon is a myth. Will ask to work on every Saturday and sundays because there is client pressure. There were times when I had to work on public holidays as well. 3 new company policy to work for 8:8 hrs so in total you will end up working 10hrs (8:8+1 hr break) but no salary increment or bonus. Since it's technically not 9hrs of productive time. 4. You will never get any leaves as there is always Pending works. So say goodbyes to your social work and family life.

Pros

Hike when you join the company and working under pressure

Cons

There is no work life balance.They wont follow any ethics.Manager itself will ask you to work on task eventhough you dont have access to VDI with your credentials.He will ask you to work with someothers credentials.Most of the times managers wants to satisfy the clients.They wont bother about employees.You need to work for min 11 to 13 hours.They will schedule meetings at odd timings.If you are married guy this is the not good place.If you want to get default rating also you need to work min 11 hours or else they give less rating.Their expectations are more.ITs with all project managers.They need everything within less time.You dont have choice to give estimation time.If you have any doubts ask any of employee from Photon except managers and Hrs.
