Pros

Corbis has the mission of "empowering creativity," and truly its suite of products from photos, to videos, to iconic personalities are very inspiring. The employees are very talented and typically come from a top-tier creative or technology background. The company is rooted in an industry that has been significantly disrupted (stock photography), and that has led to a lot of positive, transformative change. It feels in many ways that the company is finally unleashig its potential and fulfilling the expectations that so many people have had of it over the years, given the Bill Gates ownership. For "entrepreneurs" who thrive on change and the opportunity that it creates, Corbis is a great place to develop your career.

Cons

The company is in a state of constant change, and sometimes it can be overwhelming for people who like stabile work environments. Additionally, while the company is on a great track, sometimes the challenges of overcoming its more traditional culture get in the way -- however, this is quickly changing for the better as the company gains focus and momentum from its new directions.

Pros

Amazingly friendly coworkers, great tech stack and opportunities to learn. SWEs have the opportunity to wear a lot of hats.

Cons

Management had some issues from what I heard, but I was always too busy developing and improving great products. It was a tough market with the ever-shrinking stock photography market, which was likely the reason for it's demise. If the developers working at Corbis had a more relevant market fit, the company would have soared.
