Hello and thank you for posting a Glassdoor review, and for your contributions with Getty Images while you worked here. It is great to hear that your interactions with colleagues were positive and that you took part in our unique and special culture and product. We pride ourselves on these two elements and dedicate tremendous time and resources for continuous improvement. However, I am so sorry to hear that your experience with management was poor. We have high expectations of our leaders and of those who are in management positions, including that they are demonstrating the LPs in their day to day interactions. One of which being, "We care, are kind, courteous, and respectful." If you would be open to sharing more, please reach out to me at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thank you and happy new year!

Pros

Great company to work for.

Cons

Too many kpis and focus on that instead of actual bottom line.

Getty Images Response

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share feedback. Our Sales teams have clear and measurable KPIs with a focus on the bottom line, but that also provide guidance on how to get there. This provides transparency and equal opportunities for members of these teams who are working to hit their targets. This should not hinder the Sales teams' ability to generate new opportunities and thrive, but if you think otherwise, I would love to hear more! Please feel free to reach out to me at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thank you and happy new year!
