Pros

Intrapreneurial culture within the company. Many opportunities for growth, if you have an idea that supports business objectives and is supported by data/research you can run with that project. A place to roll your sleeves up and make a difference and see the impact in real time.

Cons

Many staff with long tenures which is a positive, speaks to the passion for the business, but can also be a negative when it is hard to change their outlook and focus.

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback! It is wonderful that you feel that you can have such an impact and that your ideas and insight is heard. We feel that this appetite for change and continuous improvements sets us apart and really creates such a unique culture. With that comes the motto of being the best place you will ever work and high employee retention rates. With programs like the Anniversary Awards Milestone Program and the Leadership Principle Award, we are able to celebrate and commemorate our employee's amazing contributions. However, it is the blend of new talent and tenured, institutional talent that combines for such a unique and special culture! Thank you again for sharing your experience and if you have more that you'd like to discuss, please reach out to carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thanks!

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.
