Pros

They take time to do things the right way. All engineers are encouraged to keep up with modern trends and bring in new ideas. It creates a culture of information sharing, learning and continuos improvement. Teams are embraced, not individuals, so there is no weird competitive culture - you succeed if your team and project succeed.

Cons

Things move a bit slow. The product organization delivers work to development teams at a snails pace and since all work that engineers do has to be approved by the project teams (aka - no r&d time) it gets a bit boring.

- 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.
