Pros

I have been working here for 2+ years after my graduation and I have learned so much about technologies. The work culture is fast paced and hectic but rewarding. There is no minimum work cap for onsite unlike big IT companies which have a minimum 3 year cap. You get access to various devices like iPhones, iPads, Windows phone etc to work with. This is the place to be if you are crazy about mobiles and mobile technology.

Cons

Overall they regard much for employee welfare as there are no coffee machines, cafeteria sucks also lack of any events of any sort or team building activities. Also there is no game rooms, atleast a TT table or Carrom Board should be there. Also Parking space is limited in DLF and it takes ages to find a parking.

Pros

Really good company to work for. Health benefits were great and was able to negotiate a good rate for my contract

Cons

Communication could improve in terms of staying in contact with the contractor. Working with the individual for their next role as the contract is nearing an end would be an area of opportunity as well.

Pros

Can be on interesting projects Some really good people If on correct team can be very good conditions such as remote work

Cons

Zero opportunities for growth Limited to no work/life balance No Severance Do not pay when on the bench Wrong team or manager the hr insanity can make it rough (One year they decided july 4th was not a holiday another they decided to lower the salary and increase the percentage that was bonus effectually giving everyone a pay cut).. Honestly a 2 might being generous but i have worked with some nice people there and the vast majority of the people were nice and good just wanting to get the job done . Any 5s are probably fake or the lucky few that do not have to deal with Photon Hr.
