CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly staff, flexible work, management that really cares about you as an individual. Transparency & Solutions driving company makes Getty the best place for you to work.

Cons

Being global time zone can be a challenge, but employees and management always try to accommodate and be flexible about meetings and make sure everything important is recorded and shared later worldwide.

Thank you for posting a review and for your contributions in Customer Service for the past 6+ years. We have cultivated a culture that is hyper-transparent and shares as much as possible on all areas of the organization. It is a unique aspect that sets us apart, and to your point, makes us such a special place to work. I totally understand the pains of global timezones and that sometimes it can be difficult to accommodate in AMER, EMEA, and APAC regions. Through features such as alternating times (day vs. night meetings) and recording calls, the intention is to be as fair as possible, as your note shares. We appreciate your feedback and if you have anything else you'd like to share, please reach out to me at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thank you!

Thank you for posting feedback around your experience at Getty Images. We strive to promote a culture that drives work/life balance, collaboration, continuous growth and development, and offers a competitive total rewards package. It is great to hear that you are enjoying the flexibility of a hybrid work environment and are utilizing our healthcare benefits. It is discouraging that your viewpoint is that Getty Images does not promote from within, as we have two promotion cycles per year, along with formal quarterly check-ins and weekly employee/manager 1:1s. Between April and October 2021, we celebrated over 50+ employee promotions. If you have concerns around your role and opportunities for development, I encourage you to chat with your manager and your HR Business Partner. In addition, we launch pay equity analyses to ensure that employees are being paid fairly and to market. These are available on Mixer, our intranet site, and are in tandem with market reviews that the Compensation Team leads. If you have any further questions, please connect with your HR Business Partner or myself at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thanks!
