Pros

-Amazing archive and historical collection -Some of the best photography/photographers on the market today. -Working with very skilled employees - a few of which still have a passion for photography and carry the torch of knowledge. -Learn a lot from colleagues.

Cons

-No job security, layoffs are annual. -No growth - promotions are rare. -Company focus is on money, period - employees and content providers come last. -Goals never consider the content providers, unless they're "high profile" and are willing to work with the company, on the company's terms -Culture is non-existant -No commitment to planing direction and a lot of flip flopping on goals.

Pros

Amazingly friendly coworkers, great tech stack and opportunities to learn. SWEs have the opportunity to wear a lot of hats.

Cons

Management had some issues from what I heard, but I was always too busy developing and improving great products. It was a tough market with the ever-shrinking stock photography market, which was likely the reason for it's demise. If the developers working at Corbis had a more relevant market fit, the company would have soared.
