Our Culture
At Shutterstock, we get energized about building something new and amazing. Transformation is hard work, but knowing that you have contributed to something huge is an unbeatable feeling. Shutterstock is made up of independent thinkers from all different backgrounds working collaboratively to do compelling work, inspire each other and have fun along the way.
Where we make the magic
We're headquartered in the Empire State Building in New York City, with beautiful and modern offices in prime locations in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto, Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Milan, Paris, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney. We're truly a global company, with customers in over 150 countries.
We’re flexible
We trust our employees to get their work done. If they need flexibility - particularly during work from home - we make sure they have it. As companies navigate the future of work, we are reimagining the way we work in a way that fuels collaboration, productivity and happiness. In January 2022 we are launching our Hybrid workforce model, focused on meeting the needs and preferences of employees around the globe. Employees will either be fully remote, fully onsite, or a Hybrid of the two. We are also revamping our global workspaces, creating more space to collaborate, innovate and create.
We seek diverse perspectives
Our mission at Shutterstock is to build a workforce that is, at all levels, representative of the diverse global community we serve, where our employees can come to work as their authentic selves and can share their ideas, experiences and perspectives to fuel the creative and innovative products we deliver to our customers.

We value achievement over activity
Why do 10 things when you can accomplish something in three? We don’t work for the sake of working. We rely on data and insights to drive our business decisions and measure our progress. When we all know the outcomes we’re driving towards, we’re collectively unstoppable.
We celebrate great work
We never miss an opportunity to celebrate our achievements and recognize great work. And our global recognition program Pixel makes it easy to recognize our colleagues around the world for demonstrating our principles and making a positive impact on our business.
We have fun!
From our annual Hackathon and Code Rage events, holiday celebrations, open mic night, and office happy hours, to trivia, snack attacks, fun runs and more — we love to have fun and unwind together. Whether virtual or in person, we make sure there are plenty of opportunities to connect and have a few laughs.
We care about your happiness
We work hard — really hard. That’s why our Wellness Program is focused on providing the programs and resources that enable greater physical, mental and financial well-being.
