Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your contributions to Getty Images over the past 8-10 years. This is a significant period of time and we appreciate your commitment over the years. As an organization, we strive to be one of the greatest places you will ever work through our Flexible Working Principles, our high-coverage benefits, our unique culture, and the high caliber of employees we hire. It is great to hear that these aspects contributed to a positive experience for you. With that being said, you are correct that we have high staff retention rates, which is something we are very proud of. However, this should not inhibit your ability to grow and develop, but rather expand your learning since you are surrounded by folks with significant industry knowledge. If you have concerns over your career progression, I encourage you to either chat with your manager or functional HR Business Partner. Since we recently moved to quarterly check-ins, there should be many opportunities to facilitate this conversation. Further, throughout the pandemic, our Global Leadership Team has made significant strides to explain their decisions and facilitate transparent dialogue. One of the ways we have done this is through Craig's Open Forum, which I encourage you to join and voice your questions so you can better understand some decisions that are being/have been made! If you have additional feedback, please reach out to me at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thank you so much!

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.
