Pros

The global workforce is professional and efficient. The company works on the premise of disrupt and innovate, which is excellent if one likes to work in a fast paced environment. Great product line and very efficient work systems.

Cons

The Getty Images India Management is unprofessional, inexperienced, technologically challenged, unaware of market requirements and professional etiquette with little to no sense of business direction, only misguided aggression. A very toxic work culture is encouraged where gossip and bullying is given preference over discipline and professional work. The management team in India often make inappropriate comments on employee and client religion, financial status, personal habits and social media presence. No career progression opportunities or work life balance. Employees are expected to take 'emergency calls' from their managers at 2 am, over the weekend and at any given time of day or night. Often , little work is discussed over these lengthy calls. The global Getty Images culture and values are not followed.

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.
