      Pros

      Getty has traditionally been a fairly decent place to work, it has a nice mix of interesting people both technical and artistic. Plus it's a cool industry, you're selling photos after all. The setting is pretty laid-back in terms of hours, dress, etc (although that's pretty standard for IT), in the summer people take off early to go to bars. The location is nice, in the heart of Fremont.

      Cons

      Salaries are not always competitive, the company does not believe in giving out stock options except for senior management, bonuses are often pretty limited, the technology infrastructure isn't as cutting edge as they promote to the outside world (you'll be working with .Net and a lot of very standard tools).

      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.
