Hello - thank you for your review and for all the work you've done as a Getty Images employee. We agree that working with the world's best photographers is an incredible part of the job! I am sorry to hear you feel promotions are dependent on corporate politics. We have a very specific process in place to ensure employees are given proper, timely feedback in their current role, and also to create a space where they can speak with their manager about potential new roles. We have career ladders available to everyone, which allow transparency in next steps and how to progress your career. Your manager should be having career conversations with you during 1:1 meetings or quarterly check-ins. If you feel this isn't happening, please also know your Human Resources Business Partner is available as well. All employees are given equal opportunity to discuss career growth and progression. If you have specific instances or examples you'd like to share, or any additional feedback you'd like to discuss, feel free to email me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com

Relentless, toxic and sales driven

Pros

Good remote working options with office as well

Cons

No follow through - all chat. DEI commitment is vacuous at best. Sales targets are increasingly high and we have to do the hard hard sell just to stay afloat which creates negative customer feedback

Hi there. Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am disheartened to hear that this has been your experience at Getty Images. Over the past 3 years since launching our All Company Commitments around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, we have made significant, measurable strides in building an inclusive workplace. This data is available in the 2021, and now 2022 Annual Cultural D&I Report, an extensive document outlining progress we have made against these goals. Further, this past year we have launched various D&I trainings for employees and managers, expanded our D&I sourcing plan to increase candidate diversity in our hiring process, and more. In regards to the various time zones, all Open Sessions, D&I meetings, and All-Hands calls are held twice, one for a time that fits within the EMEA+AMER timezone, and one that fits within the APAC timezone. Many teams also follow this model to ensure that folks are not working off-hours. If you have concerns about the Sales targets, there are a variety of resources to assist you, ranging from your peers, manager, HR Business Partner, Sales Enablement team, Sales coach, and more. I encourage you to reach out and initiate a conversation so that we may best support you and help set you up on a path where you feel successful. Thank you!

Pros

Excellent work environment with people who are like family

Cons

Lost its way in the last few years, maybe still riding the coat tales of a couple of great ideas from years ago
