Dislikes

Photon conducted 3 rounds of interviews, asked me to negotiate my package excessively and made me rely on their offer by discarding other opportunities. Despite this, they failed to release any offer and completely ignored my follow ups via email and calls. This reflects a severe lack of professionalism and respect for candidates time and efforts. Such behaviour unacceptable for organisation claiming to value talent.
