Pros

A decent company to work for with C-level management that cares about employees more than usual.

Cons

I started as a contractor here, and during the hiring process to full-time I was promised a different hourly rate than they actually offered and told there was no reason HR should have agreed to that. And I was not considered for the position despite no one applying due to KPIs that I had not heard about. Within a week I met the KPI goals (I had previously been focusing on different projects), but I had to wait nearly 5 months to get the full-time position.

Boys Club Culture, Lacks Innovation

Pros

Good benefits, work/life balance and PTO.

Cons

Boys club culture (great if you’re among the chosen few). Underhanded account credit. Performative diversity and inclusion. Is not supportive of remote work. Company overall lacks innovation.

Thanks very much for sharing your perspective. Our Leadership Principles include commitments to creating both an inclusive environment and also one that rejects bias in all its forms. In the last 2 years we’ve introduced quite a few changes in addition to refining our Leadership Principles: new leadership frameworks and trainings to reinforce our principles; expanded our Global Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion; introduced subcommittees on the GAC that focus on areas such as culture and hiring; introduced Employee Resource Groups; restructured our sales and support teams and in the process introduced greater transparency to account assignments and accountability, and have begun to lay the foundation for a future of flexible working that starts with the premise of being a hybrid work environment. We don’t always live up to our ideals, but we are trying to constantly evolve and grow, and I’d welcome the opportunity to learn more about your experiences so that we can continue to improve. If you are open to a conversation, please feel free to reach out at lizanne.vaughan@gettyimages.com (I’m the Chief People Officer). I wish you much success in the future.

Pros

Work/life balance is good but on-calls and number of incidents are still too high in my opinion. Product managers and product owners are doing a good job making sure things are moving forward and everyone has work to do. Benefits are good.

Cons

Base salary is lower than industry average and no bonus and RSU. Don't really have much innovation and rather more product optimization.
