Thank you so much for posting a review! Starting with your mention of our Leadership Principles, it is truly wonderful to hear that you feel that they are taken seriously. These values guide all decisions made here at Getty Images - from who we hire, to why we exist, to the impact we are having on the world. Our LP's are woven into performance reviews, promotions, development trainings, and are truly a special component of the organization. Given that we are a global company who is headquartered out of the United States, we do our best to think and operate with that global mindset. There is always room for growth and opportunity to do better. If you do have feedback or ways that we can improve, I encourage you to share with your manager, leader, or HR Business Partner. You have the power to help drive the company forward! If you would also like to reach out to me, please feel free to do so at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com.

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.

Pros

WFH, good overall culture. Good people.

Cons

Leadership has been slow to stay current and modern in the workplace. The business is straddled with debt from a pervious investment company that had bought Getty and gutted it. Future is uncertain.
