Pros

Great product - and even if you're not in the most creative role, you get to work with the photogaphy and do some creative stuff. For a while it has had a relaxed atmosphere and a young team and and has been pretty supportive in HR terms, eg time off if you got ill. And it is beginning to look like they've got the vision and energy to turn the company round. It could be a really exciting place in the next few years.

Cons

Bureaucracy everywhere. Want to get something done? You'll have to write at least 100 emails and copy in 5000 people. You can be s*** hot at what you do and management will be too busy filling out forms and pulling the ladder up behind them to notice it. For years this has stopped Corbis getting anywhere, but the way Gary Shenk and his new management team are talking, that might turn round.

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.
