Getty Images Employer Reviews

Constant rotating door when it comes to layoffs - interestingly enough it is generally the long term (which is 5+ years here!) employees who are no longer needed - ultimately replaced by entry level, youthful types. If you are BFF's with HR, completely inappropriate behavior is acceptable. Rarely receive credit for ideas - middle management is too busy – more... kissing up to sr management to protect their own "interests" as layoffs are almost weekly. Senior director with a GED... (was hired in at a director level by a friend) – less

It was a great company to work for, well effective business.

I set my own schedule in making music, then submitting it for payment.

If you don't mind working for a company that makes you constantly feel you are about to get laid off then why not Getty? While the upper management constantly thanks you for your dedication etc., they are also constantly reminding you (as well as acting upon these threats) that you are not necessary because so many other people want to work for the – more... company. Everybody at Getty Images expects to be laid off, all the time. I would not wish Getty on my worse enemy! Top heavy with untrained, inexperienced and horrible managers which is a shame because most "regular" workers there are great people. Getty's loss in the long run. – less

Creative environment, but owner is insecure and condescending.

A day at Getty Images was fast pace and lots of opportunity to learn. Best thing I learned was to negotiate a contract with the vendor, which is one of the things that made the management awesome.

Although this is a fairly unique place to work, HR Depts and recruiters alike rely way too much on that as a crutch and come across as "removed" otherwise - once you've been hired. Too many layoffs over the years have also created an edgy environment in certain areas.

Worked on contract testing their editorital site. I learned more about the editorial copy right laws since I am an editor outside of my software engineering work. Getty is very clickish, not as open for innovation or wanting to try new technology. I didn't always participate in their groups fun events since I was on contract and I believe this cost – more... me my contract. They seem to not like it if you choose to work instead of taking a hour and half out of work time to make baked potatos and socialize. – less

They truly use self managed teams, dropping several of the management positions. More than anything else, Getty is smart when it comes to how to treat the people who work there.

Open collaborative environment allowing for alternative solutions to meet the clients goals and needs

- Mis compañeros de trabajos: me sentía completamente apoyada por mis compañeros, muy humano, todos enfocados sobre el mismo objetivo.

-Parte más difícil del trabajo: Seguir conservando al cliente cuando tratabas temas de usos no autorizados. Dar el excelente servicio al cliente con menos personal.

-Lo que mas me gustó: me encantaba el trabajo en sí, mis compañeros, el lugar de trabajo, la estabilidad laboral y la gestión de la empresa. – less
