Poor compensation, chaotic management - Anonymous employee FARFETCH Employee Review

- Management will change the compensation structure every year. They are basically considering employee salaries as a cost (which they need to reduce). So forget incentives, even salary hikes are stopped. Existing employees are punished for staying, new employees will be hired at market rates later - Their principles of Do whats never been done, or Go Far framework is absolutely bs, and promotions are either purely political, or team specific. Merit has no bearing at all. - HR India is a screwed up dept where the only responsibility ends with ordering lunch. No real passion to benefit employees or resolve anything for them. The current person has no real experience with anything remotely HR, and is a complete suck up with an attitude problem. Anything you might want to ask the HR, has to be first explained to and later clarified clarified through Portugal, so why does the India HR exist? A go between India and a slack message we can do ourself? - An extremely negative environment where if you raise a concern - the trend has been of late "my way or the highway", and this extends all the way to the CEO.
