Pros

- Loads of opportunity. If you want to grow in your role, change your role, move teams, manage more, manage less, the Getty culture encourages you to drive your development - Transparency. If you want to know why decisions are made, Getty prides itself on making information available. It's not forced on you, but leadership is open and typically announce business decisions formally - written - and then again in open forums so employees can engage and ask questions. - Change. There is enough change and innovation to keep you interested and excited about your day to day work, without creating any level of uncertainty as often can be the case when 'change' is frequent in a business. - Culture. The people are open, the business is global and there is diversity in every sense.

Cons

- There are murmors that those in non-sales roles may not be paid competitively. This is not a fact, just a murmur.

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.
