Thank you for sharing your perspective as a freelance illustrator. As a contractor, there are limitations with autonomy in regards to certain aspects of decision making and pricing. I encourage you to check our Careers page for full time opportunities that may mitigate some of the parameters you feel in the contingent space. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thank you for your contributions to Getty Images!

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.
