Positive Reviews From Pond5 Employees
- What are some of the best things about your team?Most people at the company have good intentions. CEO and Chief People Officer spoiled this though by creating a gendered, barrier laden culture.
- What did you like most about the interview process?People were down-to-earth, respectful. Practicing DEI not just in terms of superficial qualities, but looking for diversity in terms of things like personalities, approaches, backgrounds, philosophies.
- What makes you most happy at work?Great people, great brand, great customers, great artists--all of which the leadership values.
Constructive Feedback From Pond5 Employees
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Women got paid on average 35% less than men in the same or lower position at the company. Upon being purchased by a public company, it also came to light that the CEO awarded men at the company 800-5000 more stock options than offered to the female employees. Wages are too low for living in HQ city
