Great place to work!

Business Outlook

Pros

Great group of creative individuals. Fun environment with many great functions to keep the environment rewarding and gratifying. Good time off policies and health benefits. Lots of free food and candy.

Cons

Separation of departments, sometimes it's hard to understand what other people in other departments are up to or actually do. It's an office situation so sometimes it can seem a bit monotonous. Lots of free food and candy.

Great people but no real leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

The people that work at Getty Images are passionate and are absolutely great to work with. People really make this company what they are.

Cons

Management is very institutionalized, as a lot of them have been around for over 10 years. There is no investment in their employees, especially if you not in the EMEA or US offices. Favouritism was absolutely apparent, and it was breed from the top.

Pros

Lots of smart people running around. Interesting work. Good location. Work is prioritized at the right level in the organization.

Cons

Passive aggressiveness. A real have-and-have-not culture. Have-nots < Director level. Completely dysfunctional Technology Services organization. HR is a Sorority House. Basic information required to do one's job are guarded like nuclear missile launch codes. All the quarterbacks punch in on Monday morning.
