Thank you for posting a review on Glassdoor. With our recent announcement around going public and the investment in the long-term, there is a ton of opportunity for all employees to grow and develop with the organization. We seek to hire the best and our commitment to operating in a hybrid environment may result in hiring full-time remote employees. To help establish connections, we have recently launched a new hires slack channel, promote Donut meet-ups weekly, encourage employees to participate in ERGs and extra-curriculars that the organization offers, and have virtual office events that are posted to local slack channels. Functions also have morale spend to host team-building events. If you are inclined, I encourage you to connect with your manager to find out more and see if there are any opportunities for you to plan an event! If you have any additional questions or feedback, please reach out to me at carly.etzin@gettyimages.com. Thanks and take care!

Hello! Thanks for posting a Glassdoor review and for your contributions to the organization for 20+ years! What a milestone, and one that you should be very proud of. It is great to hear that you are experiencing positive work-life balance and are satisfied with the total rewards package of compensation and benefits. However, I would be curious to find out more on how we can create more balance with country managers to improve workload. Your feedback is important and can help shape, not only your experience, but others at Getty! I will encourage you to please reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner to share more and see what ways we can further improve your experience. Thank you!
