      Pros

      Excellent benefits, interesting challenges, wonderful coworkers. Depending on your manager/department, there is a great chance to work independently.

      Cons

      Getty Images requires a large personal commitment with little monetary or career development pay off. Upper management does not listen or understand how to move the business forward, so they put pressure on the lower rungs to get there, starting new projects constantly, hiring new teams, and then laying off those teams as soon as they don't show immediate returns. Comp structures have been changed to make advancement unappealing and upward movement/training is nonexistent. They also retain employees who actively harm the work environment while claiming a no tolerance policy for harassment. Diversity is used as a selling point in content, but not seen in offices.

      Pros

      - fun culture where you get to hear talks by photographers - adopts new technologies relatively early in the game - a really great place to learn and grow as a developer

      Cons

      - can handle shifts/re-orgs poorly with communication, leaving employees feeling unheard and unvalued.

      Pros

      WFH, good overall culture. Good people.

      Cons

      Leadership has been slow to stay current and modern in the workplace. The business is straddled with debt from a pervious investment company that had bought Getty and gutted it. Future is uncertain.
