Hello and thank you for your feedback. It is wonderful to hear that you love our brand and had a positive experience working with your global team. COVID-19 was an unprecedented time for most, if not all, organizations as we worked tirelessly to support our employees and be as transparent as possible around decisions that were being made. We were proud that we were able to maintain a full staff throughout the pandemic and did not have any layoffs or furloughs. As we begin planning how and when we can return to the office, we want to continue the momentum of being as flexible an employer as possible. When it comes to the Flexible Working Model that has been shared internally, we would love to hear your feedback and concerns, as there may be areas that were not accounted for. I encourage you to please reach out to me at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com and share your perspective, as it is very valuable. This ties to our Leadership Principle - 'We care, are kind, courteous, and respectful.' If you feel that during your time with us, you observed or experienced favoritism, please reach out to the email shared above, as I would like to learn more and address your concerns. Thank you.

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.
