More business than creative

Pros

The visual product and interaction with creative contributors, clients, some colleagues and industry is great. The international work environment is good and most marketing colleagues are very nice to work with.

Cons

Getty Images was founded and is being led by (investment) bankers- so despite the creative nature of the content and industry, this company is completely bottomline and sales driven and makes changes and re-orgs whenever they see fit.

Rickety company bogged down in process

Pros

Most people were friendly, the brand name affords the chance to work on excellent partnerships, access to New York Fashion Week, working with world-class photographers

Cons

As a 20 year old company, the company is showing its age. While the company would have outsiders believe that they are a "tech company" they are far from it. The company is filled with legacy hires. An archaic territorialism exists in literally every facet of the business. If you're used to being in a truly innovative, fast-paced environment where new ideas and approaches are encouraged, this is not the company for you.
