Working at Getty Images in Seattle, WA: 13 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Seattle, WA Area

"I worked for Getty Images since 2017. It's a decent work environment with good benefits but has lacked any concrete vision in product development for some time now."

"The people and the work/ life balance are what separates Getty Images from other places I have worked. Initial compensation is good, but raises are poor and there is no bonus program."

"Good to work as a full time, but not as a contractor."

"I worked for a year at Getty and found the shop a little chaotic. They have gone through 4 reorganizations in 21 months. They have drastically changed the task process injecting the Agile process for organizing workloads. The IT support groups are under staffed and this causes shortcuts and cowboys doing anything to get things done which causes more issues and cycle of support issues."

"Very unaware of the benefits of testing. Development used up almost all of Sprint time leaving little testing time. Testers were then penalized for holding up the sprint."

"As stated in other reviews, the company is run by neurotic bullies. Thats because management is promoted within the company causing inept, inadequate, unprofessional middle management, to be promoted to more powerful positions while not learning how to manage people. There is one manager there who has absolutely no clue how to manage people except by fear! She said so many illegal things to me I could have gone to HR and the EEOC! But she likes to bully and can make your life miserable. This manager is also vulgar; she arrives as if she is queen bee and does not say hI to anyone! She dresses as if she is 14 years old with short dresses that do not look good on her and I cant believe how many times I saw her underwear! Absolutely unprofessional behavior on so many fronts and her management does not seem to see anything wrong with this (maybe because they are men!) I was so happy to leave, I almost ran out of the building!"
