Vantaggi
GREAT work life balance! Great imagery around the office. We attract pretty smart people but they leave us quickly. Not much is expected of you as a developer.
Svantaggi
Fixated on our one competitor instead of our fleeing customers. Getty has stayed relevant buy buying competitors, over 100 of them in the last 20 years. Now we have a competitor that we couldn't buy due to HUGE debt from going 'private' and we don't know HOW to compete. They're eating our lunch. There is an article on the cash state of the company by Bloomberg a few months ago. You should read it before considering Getty for employment. You can divide Getty into two bands of employees, those that have been at the company for 10+ years and those that have been there for less than 3. The turnover is really amazing. We hire bright people and then fire them when they try to do anything different or they leave when they realize how slow we move. We have a TON of technical debt from all of the mergers that we have patched together with duct tape and bailing wire over the years. Code base is a joke, come work as a senior developer in PHP! We are stuck in the 90's with our management style too, top down leadership all the way. Decisions are made and pushed down, you will have no input here. Extreme focus on process while calling ourselves an agile shop. Seriously, we are agile with waterfall on top!
