Pros

When COVID hit and we all had to work remotely, nobody got fired when revenue declined. Instead we got a % reduction in our salary for only 6 months. Our CEO gave himself a 50% paycut to save our jobs!!! He is a class act!!! Business got back to normal and they refunded us all our salaries 🙌. God bless Getty Images!!

Cons

They are too patient to people that don’t perform to expectations.

Hello! Thank you so much for your positive review of Getty Images! We know working through the pandemic was a tough time for all employees and we worked hard to ensure everyone was taken care of and supported to the fullest extent. We know the transition to "the new normal" wasn't easy, and we thank you for speaking so positively about how pandemic work was handled. I also appreciate your feedback about performance expectations. As a company, we have regular performance reviews for all employees, as well as quarterly check-ins with managers to ensure both the employee's personal and professional goals are being met. For employees who may not be reaching their fullest potential, we offer additional trainings through Work Ramp, opportunities to work with Human Resources and managers to receive specialized support and resources, and Performance Improvement Plans for those who need additional support in their role. Please know your manager and Human Resource Business Partner are always available to chat if you have concerns to pass along. Also, I am open to additional feedback at any time! Please feel free to email me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com if you have anything further you'd like to discuss!

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.
