      Pros

      I have experienced many changes in the company but I have never felt like a stranger thanks to the colleagues and managers

      Cons

      Getty took late into consideration the outermost areas and people who didn't speak English well, Getty has worked until meny years on Diversity and Inclusion but these two points arrived after

      Hello! Thank you for posting a review, and thank you for the 20+ years of your career that you have dedicated to Getty Images. What an immense contribution - and we are better because of you! Our Global Leadership Team strives to cultivate a culture that is as transparent as possible - sharing context on decisions that will guide the direction of our company for years to come, as well as the Why behind that focus. While we continue to change and innovate, we hope to always be inclusive and have folks feel that they are a part of that change. It is very great to hear that you have experienced this. As we are a global company, we strive to create an environment where all employees, regardless of location, language, role, or time zone, feel included and a part of the conversation. We have taken actions such as implementing a translation service that provides language transcripts on all calls to help mitigate language barrier concerns. We have language programs for folks who English may be a second language, as well as for folks who want to familiarize themselves with other languages and form connections with global colleagues. Our Diversity and Inclusion team continues to understand how we can improve and be as inclusive of an organization as possible, and feedback such as this helps drive this positive change. Thank you for taking the time, and if you have additional feedback to share, please feel free to reach out to carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thanks!

I am quite pleased that you feel that you have the autonomy and flexibility to be successful in your role, and can creatively share your voice through the content that you provide customers.

We will continue to operate with Flexible Working Principles so that employees can balance personal and professional obligations. To your mention of career progression, we recognize that there is opportunity to improve in this key area. As such, our HR team is working with functional leaders to build out clear career ladders for every single role, team, and function so that there is an increased level of transparency.

      Pros

      Getty Images has an important mission: bringing the highest quality creative and editorial content, the latter particularly important in these times, to our customers and everyone who works at Getty has a part in that. Not only does that play into the length of time people invest in Getty, but so do the company culture, sense of purpose, and the investment in diversity and inclusion. There’s a real sense of belonging and as a result, many are not just coworkers. Lasting friendships are created outside of work too.

      Cons

      Getty’s data infrastructure and related tools are rapidly improving to meet the organization’s needs, but it is a work in progress. Consider the current state an opportunity for improvement that you might personally be involved in rather than one which can meet all analyst or data science needs, whether through tools or performance, at the moment. In addition while Getty is actively working on opportunities for career growth and the creation of potential career tracks, don’t necessarily expect title changes every few years as might be seen elsewhere.
