Pros

There's a lot to be said for working with creativity as a product to sell. The benefits are (or were) outstanding and if you don't take the layoffs and mood swings of the company personally, one can eek out a nice little gig there. Look at lots of pictures :o) The building is cool, the location in Seattle is excellent, and while there I met some really good friends that I still see and enjoy and we almost never speak of Corbis. I wish the company success and all the people working there the peace of mind you need to work in corporate america. Also, many photographers are some outstanding human beings. I miss them.

Cons

The senior management shifts regularly, and the departments reinvent themselves frequently.

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.
