Pros

Great place to work. For a larger company, lots of opportunity to talk and work with people all across the organization.

Cons

Only 3 levels for engineers, Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, and Principal Engineer.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We will share your comments on the structure for the software engineering team, as the leadership continuously strives to provide the best career and work experience for team members. We are also happy that you enjoy the opportunity to interact with people across Getty Images. We love our team members, too! We have found that the Donut program, which we rolled out in 2020, provided many of us with an opportunity to interact with team members we might otherwise not have gotten a chance to (particularly after we all moved to working remotely!), and enriched many of our working relationships. Thanks for calling out this elements of working for Getty Images, and thanks for being part of our team!

Pros

- fun culture where you get to hear talks by photographers - adopts new technologies relatively early in the game - a really great place to learn and grow as a developer

Cons

- can handle shifts/re-orgs poorly with communication, leaving employees feeling unheard and unvalued.

Pros

WFH, good overall culture. Good people.

Cons

Leadership has been slow to stay current and modern in the workplace. The business is straddled with debt from a pervious investment company that had bought Getty and gutted it. Future is uncertain.
