Pros

Image.net was a dynamic, fulfilling startup while I was there. It had private equity behind it, so growth was all the rage, and there was lots of opportunity for smart, self-sufficient, creative people.

Cons

All this changed when the company was bought by Getty Images. Gone was the independence and dynamism. In its place came big corporation bureaucracy and monthly targets.
