Pros

Benefits were fine. Getty did a great job with offering employees training and coaching. They also dominated the market, so job performance was easy.

Cons

Senior management creates a hostile environment. Mr. Klein doesn't treat the employees as adults, You could bank on the company doing the very opposite of what Jonathon Klein speaks about to employees. It's a very "kool-aid" robotic culture.

Pros

The company is extremely flexible. Overall, it's a low key and fun place to work.

Cons

IT seems to be burned out. It makes it difficult to get stuff done.

Pros

Getty Images is an easy place to work. Work/life balance is totally achievable, it's in a great location, everyone enjoys hanging out after work in local bars. It's a great place to work especially if you want to live in the city and bike to work, and not have to work too hard. Pay is probably not top, but your hours aren't either.

Cons

People can (and do) "coast" here. Don't piss off upper management, though, or you are fired. I respect upper mgt for their ability to remove negative people, but it also makes for a semi-skittish workforce. Do just enough to not get fired, it seems, and you'll be fine. Don't expect a massive career growth here. This is a lifestyle company.
