Pros

Salary/compensation is at par with other companies Benefits are ok (same with copay) not great compared to other companies Seattle downtown, if you like working in downtown

Cons

-Terrible upper management -Never consulted on anything with managers -Layoff everything 3 months - I worked for Corbis for 9 years. I believe in retaining employees not laying them off due to personal reasons just because you don’t like someones personality. Company should be investing in employee skills and retaining good people. To tell you the truth, last year or so after there is new management on board, only few handful of good people left in the company -Management doesn't solve problems -Poor senior leadership. Company doesn’t have any direction in web 2.0 -Office culture not that great. Cross group collaboration is missing -Website is not working. Technology infrastructure is 10 years old. -Untrustworthy management and senior management is secretive

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.
