Pluspunten

Its is located in ITPL, Banguluru, you would love this ITPL area. Your friends and familly will think you are working in Tata Photon, and you are paid very high(not because you are technically great but they didn’t find anyone to join, so they paid you whatever you demanded) You will make 100 new friends every month, since every month these many people join and leave(note: the Bangalore has strength of 300, yes 100 are always in notice period out of 300).

Minpunten

Whatever the company says 30% fortune clients, worlds best etc etc all 100% lies. They hire and ask employees to give good feedback & reviews by creating fake ids. Even they pay to the review websites to remove the bad reviews…instead of making it a good to place to work. Unhygenic Washroom. Max 3 can use at a time. Chair quality is poor, all have some defects like doesn’t rotate, doesn’t move, back rest sways, height adjusting doesn;t work comes down in few minutes. To take lunch be prepared to walk 15 minutes in rain or sun. No good food in company’s cafeteria. They have one small cafeteria with 20 chairs. And their strength is 500, hence between 1 to 2, you have to share your chair with others ;) If you go washroom or take water please swipe out from the office and come back with swipe in, this time will be deducted from your daily work time. Whatever duration of time you work, you are asked to fill the timesheet for 9 hours, for legal process. They can send you onsite every now and then, but its on your risk, they will not help you to any VISA related thing. Your visa might get cancelled because of their illegal work and breaking the VISA law/rules. Every month you need to provide weekend support but they wont support you. Forget about cab, you will not even find lunch, tea, AC, water, toilet paper, etc. You should buy your own stationary, they dont even provide newspaper to read forget about magazines are provided by other companies in their library. Once you reach office you are totally disconnected from the world. The internet has limited access. They don’t give you desk telephone, on top of this they have installed mobile blocker so that you can not make a call. You need to swipe out and go outside the office to make calls. And finally you decide to resign, wait your notice period will get entended multiple times and you need to server 15 days or 1 month extra as an average seen by me in my 10 months long tenure in this company.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
