Initially it was the same old stuff, but after I started speaking up, I was given ownership and responsibility. This has given me the opportunity to interact with decision makers, giving me confidence.
Lots of scope creep and rework is affecting timelines

Here, we use latest project management tools which help us in managing the project effectively. The company ensures we are provided the required training to use these tools effectively.
Critical decisions are delayed by the management as the process is very complex.

First things first—don’t be a baby and believe all those glowing fake reviews. Anyone with a pigeon-sized brain can see through them. This company is a perfect match for you if: * You love working weekends—oh, and not just five days a week, but six, in-office. This is especially true if you’re lucky enough to be recruited for the prestigious client, "JayPea More Gains Chase." * You miss your fresher days and would love to relive them by being placed under a strict commitment and probation for the first six months—even as a senior employee! Ever wondered why they need experienced professionals to be on probation? Simple—because not even cockroaches or rats would survive in Photon without a forced commitment in place. And here’s the best part: if you decide to escape this paradise during probation, you get to pay a hefty exit fee! Oh, and don’t get too comfortable after six months—they can extend your probation indefinitely, because why not? * You adore the "HIRE → EXPLOIT → FIRE" work culture, where severance pay is just a myth. But hey, who needs financial security when you can experience the thrill of sudden unemployment? Just imagine the family bonding you’ll have while figuring out how to live by the roadside! * You enjoy being micromanaged, abused, and exploited by your wonderful managers and HR team. * You love being watched 24/7 like a reality show contestant. Photon generously installs a tracking tool called PROHANCE, which will be your loyal companion at all times. In fact, it cares so much about you that if you step away for even 10 minutes—say, to use the restroom—it will immediately check in like a clingy ex: "Hey buddy, can you please enter the reason for your absence from your desk? We were getting worried!" Because, clearly, privacy is overrated. * You appreciate friendly career advice from HR, like how they can single-handedly ruin your future by giving bad feedback in background verifications. * You thrive under clients even more toxic than Photon’s management. In fact, Photon practically sells you off to them with the terms: "Exploit them however you like—we don’t care. Just give us the money. Make them work on Sundays, 14-hour shifts, anything goes! As long as you don’t actually kill them, we’re good." Speaking of which, Photon is currently recruiting for a top U.S.-based banking client whose name phonetically resembles "JayPea More Gains Chase." They lure you in with promises of high salaries if you clear client rounds. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. This project’s work culture is so inhumane, it should be declared illegal. Expect insane deadlines, zero work-life balance, and arrogant, egotistical clients who treat contractors like disposable trash. Anyways, after all these warnings and truths, if you still wanna join this toxic company, and if you have also cleared the client interview round for "JayPea More Gains Chase,” then play some bargaining game with them, because they desperately need people for this project. Make sure to exploit their desperation for higher pay—you’ll have so much leverage before accepting the offer. Facilities? What Facilities? * Water? Oh, it's there! You just need to walk a casual 1 km to get it. * Coffee? Even the worst IT companies provide this, but Photon is out here setting new benchmarks in employee suffering. * Microwave? Sure, there’s one—for 300+ employees. The queue is longer than the one at Tirupati. * Cabs or travel allowances? Why bother? Just walk from home! If you can afford shoes, Photon thinks you’re being spoiled. A Special Shoutout to Our Beloved CEO! Kudos to Mr. Srinivas Balasubramanian for creating one of the most toxic work environments ever. Employees love it so much that we’ve prepared a special garland made of dirty chappals in his honour. We hope to greet him with it someday....Read More
* Absolutely no cons! Even Bill Gates or Linus Torvalds would dream of slaving away at Photon! * Only 13-hour workdays? Too easy! Maybe they should bump it up to 20 hours. * A 6-day work-from-office policy? I love working Sundays too—management, please consider making it 7 days a week!

Good and understanding team. Always willing to help. Our team learning sessions have been very useful in updating our skills. We all feel we are growing as a team.
No noticeable appreciation and recognition form the management. But we still keep doing our best as what matters is what we learn.
