Pros

They pay well because it is such a high risk company, Corbis tends to hire well, but cannot keep good folks. Corbis on average has 40% turnover!

Cons

Corbis does at least 2-3 layoffs a year, so be prepared for a short term gig. Gary Shenk cannot make a decision without the help of the Boston Consulting Group. Corbis has spent millions on consultants, then cannot make its numbers, so then does mass layoffs to make up the difference.

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.
