2. Followed by portfolio review and walkthrough and technical questions round followed by
3. Human Resource Round
4. Salary Negotiation
They have no idea what they are doing. I have been contacted one of their recruiters, Ramiro. He initially said they have 2 clients, fidelity and one Create One Bank. Then, when I asked him, I did not understand that this was an agency. I do not want to work with agencies, I want to apply for jobs by myself. He started to lie straight to my face, saying that no, they will hire for photon, and he is the recruiter. If I am not confident enough to move forward in the process, I should not waste their time. etc. I asked clearly again, you just said you have 2 clients for me to match. Do you recall? He said NO. Luckily, the AI note taker was automatically taking notes for the call, and he approved the beginning of the call. I had proof that he lied. I am super surprised how these companies make money because they are a fraud and a scam. They PROBABLY WILL STEAL ALL YOUR INFORMATION. One. A good thing you can do for yourself stay away from this company, aka the Agency, at all.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Photon in June 2023
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me in the beginning, but just hang up in the middle of the call without mentioning his intention of this call. The recruiter’s behavior disrespect other people’s time. Very unprofessional attitude throughout the phone call.
