Pros

This is the best creative department to work in. Resources, flexibility, autonomy, training, amazing talent, great processes and outstanding people... you name it! The creative VPs protect the team from most of Photon's intrusive policies. This only applies to the US based creative team.

Cons

You can be manager level who's hiring young talent for you to train, yet you see them approved to make 1.5 to 2 x your own salary! New hires making more than their own reporting managers is shameful, frustrating, demotivating, demeaning, and highly unethical. Photon currently has no plan to make salary adjustment for their key people, only draining them till they give up and go somewhere else. They regularly announce great salary enhancement, but when doing your tax returns, you can't see any difference. Need to hire an accountant to keep up with your lost moneys.
