Pros

- Great healthcare benefits - Flexible hybrid work arrangements - Respectful and supportive workplace culture - Most of the staff are friendly and helpful - Senior leadership communicates their intentions and show that they're willing to make changes - Proud of the world-class visual content

Cons

- Base pay could improve to be more competitive - Very US-centric (small regions have fewer resources (for staff & customers)/exposure/speaking power/ discount than the larger regions) - Big improvements are required on DEI, agreed with the other peer mentioned about need more to be done than to be said, as even manager grades are not adapting to this company's mission - Claimed work-life balance but most of the staff are working overtime caused by lack of staff, over workload, or long hiring progress, etc. And always have non-office hours (before/ after work and lunch hour) meetings. - Due to lack of/ miscommunication, promotions arrangements are up to individual managers' personal understanding instead of a clear guideline.

Hello, thank you for reviewing your experience as a Getty Images employee! I am so happy to hear you feel there are so many positive aspects to working here. We work hard to ensure we offer competitive benefits, a good work-life balance, and creating a respectful, supportive culture. 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. In addition, we are conducting a company-wide benchmarking initiative to review all of our pay structures and ensure that folks are being paid fairly and to market. This includes, but is not limited to, also mapping out clear career progression and levels for every role and function so that the promotion path is transparent. If you have any additional feedback that you would like to share, please reach out to me at sarah.dudley@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.
