Hello and thank you for sharing a Glassdoor review. Over the past 5-7 years that you have been with Getty Images, there have been numerous significant changes to the organization that have created a more transparent and authentic culture. It is great to hear that your experience mirrors this. However, in response to your concerns around compensation, our Total Rewards team conducts annual pay-equity reports to ensure that employee's compensation remains fair to industry and market standards and makes adjustments where needed. Our more recent company-wide benchmarking initiative took this a step further and provided a functional & HR partnership to review every single role that exists at the organization to ensure that we have accurately outlined level, responsibilities, and awarded fair compensation to those elements. If you have specific concerns about your compensation, I encourage you to contact your HR Business Partner. Thank you and happy new year!

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.
