C levels live on an island - Senior Software Engineer FARFETCH Employee Review

Pros

People I work with are very friendly. Tries to have a quite modern stack.

Cons

Although they promote their career ladder, as in most companies, it's hard to grow. Completely bloated of people. It would be easier to work with half the people. Many niches are being created and instead of people work for the same objectives, these niches are starting to compete and in conflict. C levels seem lost or living on an island. Engineering clusters used to have some freedom on their stack choices. You don't have it anymore. Grew without planning or control.

Thank you for your honest review, we appreciate your feedback and we would like to address some of your concerns. We are working hard to improve communication and transparency - we have recently introduced regular Global All Hands where the whole Executive Team are present to answer live Q&A, giving Farfetchers the chance to ask any and all questions. And we have refined our OKR (objective and key result) framework to make sure we are all working on fewer but more focused priorities. We appreciate your commitment to the Farfetch mission and we hope you'll continue to have a rewarding journey with us.
