Getty Images reviews

No career progression, stagnant salaries, very top heavy with a culture of micromanagement, instability from constant change for the sake of change - knee jerk reactions have degraded confidence among staff. Very little empowerment or trust for the teams of people hired to do their jobs and very little time allowed for campaigns to work. No strategy or communication from leadership - not an inclusive environment. NO change management.

Fixated on our one competitor instead of our fleeing customers. Getty has stayed relevant buy buying competitors, over 100 of them in the last 20 years. Now we have a competitor that we couldn't buy due to HUGE debt from going 'private' and we don't know HOW to compete. They're eating our lunch. There is an article on the cash state of the company by Bloomberg a few months ago. You should read it before considering Getty for employment. You can divide Getty into two bands of employees, those that have been at the company for 10+ years and those that have been there for less than 3. The turnover is really amazing. We hire bright people and then fire them when they try to do anything different or they leave when they realize how slow we move. We have a TON of technical debt from all of the mergers that we have patched together with duct tape and bailing wire over the years. Code base is a joke, come work as a senior developer in PHP! We are stuck in the 90's with our management style too, top down leadership all the way. Decisions are made and pushed down, you will have no input here. Extreme focus on process while calling ourselves an agile shop. Seriously, we are agile with waterfall on top!
