Pros

Great culture. You'd always feel like you are "included" no matter what your position is.

Cons

It's not a "big" company if you are in tech, their pay is comparable but not the greatest. Due to its size, there is not much career ladder to climb especially if you are not a naturally social person. But if you are looking for a stable and steady job, Getty is definitely for you.

Pros

Getty offers solid work life balance.

Cons

Engineering management was dead set on old ways and it hurt them tremendously on the solution front. Most of their principal engineers have been there for 15+ years with zero work diversity across all of them. They basically peter principled all the junior engineers into senior roles over decades.
