Pros
Good supporting team and culture, excellent work life balance .
Cons
Nothing major to mention. may be better communication from Senior Management of what they are trying to achieve with global initiatives or drives could increase transparency and trust .

Has anyone worked at Shutterstock before? What has been your experience and would you recommend working there? I had a hiring manager reach out to me and the position is a Client Partner SMB.

I haven't worked there myself, but I've heard that culture can be a little toxic depending on what department you're in and that their salaries aren't always competitive.

Happy to discuss. I worked there for a year. Lots of turnover in management. They lost a lot of the original people because the culture was changing from more of a startup to corporate. It was a bit disorganized and the old guard did not want to change. This was pre pandemic so idk how it is now
