Pros
The main reason I enjoy working at GettyImages is due to the positive work culture, great colleagues and interesting projects. I can really feel the commitment the company puts into Diversity and Inclusion by promoting different experiences, backgrounds and respect.
Positive work culture includes the collaborative mindset, support and fun I get from my immediate teams and the company. Healthcare benefits are great, my professional development is top of mind, work / life balance is promoted and diversity, equity, and inclusion is top of mind for the whole company. I started working in a remote setting and I can honestly say that I feel like I am part of a team no matter where anyone I work with is located.
I feel fulfilled in my role and have been able to grow as a mentor and promote research through the company. I have had the opportunity to help build out the team as well attend conferences, workshops and educational classes that promote my professional development goals. Projects are always discussed with me and I am able to discuss and take on the ones that would meet my needs due to interest and time.
Cons
I have experienced impactful professional development and opportunities within the Product team but I have heard through the grapevine that other departments don't have as many opportunities. I don't have many details on those departments but I do know professional development is a key area the company is improving on and is put in the forefront of each department and managers minds.
