Pros

Through the pandemic and economic crises, the leadership has been steady and consistent. Company has clear plans and communicates transparently and fairly.

Cons

Current leadership has navigated through a number of challenging issues during the team's tenure, from the pandemic, to social unrest and the global economy. Would be great to see what happens when we get through this set of circumstances fully.

Thank you so much for the review! As a community we have certainly been through some trying times that haven't been easy on anyone! Our leadership team, especially our CEO Craig Peters, make it a point to always remain transparent about the times we are living in and how we are going to tackle the hardships together. This sort of transparency is supported by our Leadership Principles, particularly "we are trustworthy, transparent, and honest". Our leaders extend that transparency and support into our monthly All Hands meetings, Leadership Soundbites, weekly newsletters, and Mixer updates. We hope you find these updates helpful so that you always have an idea of how we are moving forward as a company, and what those changes mean for you as an employee. Thank you again for the time you took to write a review; if you have anything else you'd like to share, please feel free to email me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com!

Pros

Getty Images has an amazing company culture. I feel incredibly lucky to work at a company that really puts their employee's needs front and center. A healthy work/ life balance is encouraged and supported. We have the best healthcare benefits and vacation I've seen. I love getting to provide the best content, licensing, and insights in the world to our customers.

Cons

This is a face paced environment that requires constant personal development and the ability to adapt quickly. This is great for some people but could be a drawback for others.

Pros

When COVID hit and we all had to work remotely, nobody got fired when revenue declined. Instead we got a % reduction in our salary for only 6 months. Our CEO gave himself a 50% paycut to save our jobs!!! He is a class act!!! Business got back to normal and they refunded us all our salaries 🙌. God bless Getty Images!!

Cons

They are too patient to people that don’t perform to expectations.

Hello! Thank you so much for your positive review of Getty Images! We know working through the pandemic was a tough time for all employees and we worked hard to ensure everyone was taken care of and supported to the fullest extent. We know the transition to "the new normal" wasn't easy, and we thank you for speaking so positively about how pandemic work was handled. I also appreciate your feedback about performance expectations. As a company, we have regular performance reviews for all employees, as well as quarterly check-ins with managers to ensure both the employee's personal and professional goals are being met. For employees who may not be reaching their fullest potential, we offer additional trainings through Work Ramp, opportunities to work with Human Resources and managers to receive specialized support and resources, and Performance Improvement Plans for those who need additional support in their role. Please know your manager and Human Resource Business Partner are always available to chat if you have concerns to pass along. Also, I am open to additional feedback at any time! Please feel free to email me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com if you have anything further you'd like to discuss!
