Pros

Great work culture, fair pay and nice colleagues; the company has a flexible attitude to work arrangements, and the work-life balance is great.

Cons

Not many layers of management, so promotions are a little hard to come by at first look - but it's early days for me yet so can't fully comment on cons.

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.
