      Great heart, execution less great

      Pros

      Great and fascinating products and technology stack, and the nicest people you will ever work with. You get plenty of space to do your own thing.

      Cons

      The downside of "space to do your own thing" is that it's very easy to feel alone, isolated and lost. Very difficult to move up the ladder. Many senior leadership have been there a *long* time so there is a fair bit of myopia about limitations/problems. Management has good intentions to make things better but when I left (July 2017) there had not been much progress.

      Pros

      Lots of smart people running around. Interesting work. Good location. Work is prioritized at the right level in the organization.

      Cons

      Passive aggressiveness. A real have-and-have-not culture. Have-nots < Director level. Completely dysfunctional Technology Services organization. HR is a Sorority House. Basic information required to do one's job are guarded like nuclear missile launch codes. All the quarterbacks punch in on Monday morning.

      What was formerly a great place to work has become a nightmare

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, WFH, colleagues and individual team cultures are all wonderful.

      Cons

      2023 has been a hard year for Getty. The growth projections sr leadership put out were completely unrealistic, and the company is paying for it. Sr leadership is almost completely lacking in diversity, and the CFO and CRO are out of touch with the market, company, and need of their employees. Sales teams have had to take on additional responsibilities within the company, with some teams working 3 jobs in 1 role. The commission plan is a joke, overly complicated and inconsistent across teams. There are tons of silos across the business, making it difficult to coordinate across teams. It's a shame; this used to be a great place to work.
