      Pros

      great images taken by photographers.

      Cons

      Egos outweigh collaboration unfortunately. The organization faces a significant amount of experience debt, largely stemming from a lack of technical depth at the leadership level. This creates barriers to progress and innovation as influence is often tied to years worked at the company, rather than capability or demonstrated impact. Unfortunately, this environment has led to the attrition of highly capable individuals, including those from FAANG backgrounds, who leave due to limited opportunities for growth and a lack of strategic direction, and lack of priorities. Leadership who have stayed for more than 2 years have lost their ability to make sound decision-making, given all the changes happening outside of the org, or adapt to evolving industry standards,

      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.
