Thank you for posting a review on Glassdoor! It is extremely positive to see that in our Technology department, you are experiencing a great culture and are enjoying the work that you are doing. This is not the first time we are hearing this feedback around career development, and I am pleased to share that we have been participating in a job benchmarking initiative to clearly map out job descriptions, development opportunities, and clear steps to continue to grow in level and seniority in all roles and functions at Getty Images. We hope this initiative will be completed in Q4 and we can broadly share with the organization. However, if you have additional feedback to share, I encourage you to connect with your manager, HR Business Partner, or myself at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thank you!

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.
