      Pros

      Good work life balance, especially if you're OK with remaining in the same role/title for a long time.

      Cons

      Minimum raise that's almost always below inflation rate. Slow growth in career

      Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience as a Getty Images employee. We understand work-life balance is a priority for all employees, so we take pride in our flexible, hybrid work environment. With inflation bordering double digits, compensation is top of mind for employees. Our Compensation team is working diligently to monitor the inflation rates, and as a company, we have committed to making adjustments when certain parameters are hit. Our Compensation team also regularly reviews market data to ensure that all of our employees are being paid fairly for the cost of labor in their market. If you are concerned about your pay, I highly encourage you to connect with your HR Business Partner and/or your manager. There are resources and analyses that can be done to help you feel confident in your pay. As for career advancement, we have recently build career ladders for every role, team, and function in the company. This allows transparency on what the next step is and how to get there. Your manager can walk you through areas of opportunity to focus on during regular 1:1s or during your quarterly check ins. However, if you have any feedback for how we can improve in this regard, or have any other general feedback to share, please reach out to me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com!

      Sluggish company, untalented colleagues, slow leadership. Eaten alive by AI-generated art.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only pro of a slow-moving company: you don't have to work that much. Just tag along and you'll be fine. Don't let them fool you by telling you that average tenure is 5 years at Getty. It's because those people can't find jobs elsewhere, and management don't crack down on poor performance. It is plus, if you are looking for somewhere to hang out for a while.

      Cons

      * This company sells pictures. Its business is being eaten alive by free AI-generated art that are improving by the minute. Yet, leadership doesn't know what Stable Diffusion is ?! Ignorance is not bliss in this case. * SLOW SLOW SLOW: The environment makes a 20-year-old feel like a 60-year-old. Nobody does much. People's thought are sluggish. They aren't up-to-date on new technologies (by new, I mean anything that came out within the last 5 years). * You don't learn anything here. It's a huge retirement party. This will kill your career unless you are already close to retirement. * As far as data scientists and engineers go, people who work here cannot get a job elsewhere. That's why the company has such great a "tenure" track record. * Leadership doesn't care if their business is being eaten alive everyday.
