Additional Perks + Benefits

Driven by its commitment to the creative community, Pond5 proudly provides a platform where creativity can flourish and contributors can make a sustainable living licensing their work to buyers around the world. That means that we also support creativity internally. For example, we host semi-annual Passion Project contests in which employees submit their personal creative projects, the entire company votes, and Pond5 helps to meaningfully fund the winning project. In return, winners share their creative endeavors internally. Likewise, we celebrate team members internally who have an outsized impact. For example, each quarter we select a "Pondy" winner who receives a customized statue and opportunities to showcase the impact that he or she had. We also showcase our diverse range of talent by holding "Career Spotlights" to highlight individual career stories across the organization. These are just some examples of how we live our values!
