      Pros

      Many people don't consider Getty Images as a Tech company but we are! Our Tech stack is exciting and interesting from an engineering perspective. I have always found the company to be great but recently the company has invested more into employees and how HR is interacting with employees and making things better. About 6 months ago they hired a new HR person for the technology group. He has already made deep impacts on tech employees experience at Getty. It is very nice to see HR as part of the team versus being the big bad in the company. HR has transformed to a very positive force. You don't see that everywhere! We have also seen some critical changes in the search teams management. We now have an amazing manager leading that team that is making positive changes. Our CEO is also great about getting us information that is helpful for us to do our jobs and to ease and nervousness.

      Cons

      They are very limited as I love working here. I would say that the bonuses could be a little better. They seem lower than other places.

      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.
