Pros

- fun culture where you get to hear talks by photographers - adopts new technologies relatively early in the game - a really great place to learn and grow as a developer

Cons

- can handle shifts/re-orgs poorly with communication, leaving employees feeling unheard and unvalued.

Pros

Employees at Getty Images are generally helpful, clever, and deeply knowledgeable about their area of expertise.

Cons

Most folks work remotely. This is a pro for many, but if you are are seeking a rich office culture, NY is limited to executives and sales.

Hi, there! Thank you for your review and for all the work you have put in as an employee throughout the last 8 years. It is individuals like yourself who make this a great place to work and who do so much to add that knowledge and expertise to the business. We are proud of our Flexible Work Principles but understand they may not work for everyone. Our morale teams work hard to ensure each office has in-person and virtual events throughout the year for employees to gather and build community. I hope you are able to take advantage of these events - we would love to see you there! If you have any feedback about how we can improve these offerings, please let me know! Additionally, if you have any other feedback you would like to share, please feel free to email me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com
