Pros

Professionalism, diversity, inclusion, accountability, transparency, good work-life balance, team effort means never feeling like you are on an island, seems to be recession proof, responsible hiring that doesn't lead to mass layoffs, easy access to co-workers, hybrid work has been a huge plus!

Cons

Difficult to move up the ladder as most departments seem to limited. Health insurance benefits while pretty great have declined their coverage over the year and as I write this there is a fear that a major vendor may not be included in our coverage soon.

Hello! Thank you so much for the work you've done for us throughout the past 20 years - what an amazing achievement! Thank you also for taking the time to write a review of the company. It sounds like overall you've had a great experience as a Getty Images employee, and I'm so glad to hear! In terms of career advancement, we have built career ladders for every role, team, and function in the company. This allows transparency on what the next step is and how to get there. Your manager can walk you through areas of opportunity to focus on during regular one-on-one meetings or during your quarterly check-ins. Regarding Benefits, we have a comprehensive plan that includes medical, vision, and dental coverage; flexible savings accounts; life and disability plans; retirement plans; and employee assistance programs, just to name a few. I am unsure what you are referencing when you say a major vendor may not be included in our coverage soon. As of today, I am unaware of any current benefit plan vendors exiting the space. I would love to look into this for you, so if you have additional information or questions, feel free to reach out to me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com. You may also reach out to our Benefits team at benefits@gettyimages.com.

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.
