Pros

Editorial part of the business produces amazing work, and even if you don’t work with those teams directly, it’s exciting to see what they do

Cons

Getty Images is a toxic workplace. There are people in management roles who routinely bully, harass and scapegoat other employees in order to cover up their own incompetence, and HR facilitates retaliation against those who raise concerns
