Getty Images reviews

If you're looking to work somewhere that puts creativity first, this is not the place to be. Getty Images is very much a corporate organization. You will be faced with a lot of rigidity and pushback for the simplest ideas. Very risk averse. Photographers and videographers are being paid less and less for the work they do. The company takes advantage of parts of the world where salaries are generally low, for example countries like Serbia, where they can pay creators there much less money to shoot content. It's all about stuffing money into the pockets of shareholders and meeting KPIs. Since going on the stock exchange, they seem even more eager to save every penny they can, by paying photographers less, staff less and reducing the sales org commission where they can. They are ruthless, will make job cuts and redundancies, even to those who have been at the company over 20 years. Absolutely no loyalties. You become desensitized to how much they don't care about people.

The Getty Images India Management is unprofessional, inexperienced, technologically challenged, unaware of market requirements and professional etiquette with little to no sense of business direction, only misguided aggression. A very toxic work culture is encouraged where gossip and bullying is given preference over discipline and professional work. The management team in India often make inappropriate comments on employee and client religion, financial status, personal habits and social media presence. No career progression opportunities or work life balance. Employees are expected to take 'emergency calls' from their managers at 2 am, over the weekend and at any given time of day or night. Often , little work is discussed over these lengthy calls. The global Getty Images culture and values are not followed.
