Pros
Until being laid off in July, we had an almost fully remote status which was great, it was definitely the best time of my life in terms of mental health. Work-life balance at its best!
Cons
When the 2023 Summer lay offs started, it was chaos! They closed the Boavista office, they implemented mandatory office work, fired more than 700 people, and compensations were frozen... Being laid off by Farfetch was the worst experience of my life, they gave me nothing in my compensation package, they forced me to make decisions with ultimatums and threats, the pressure to accept the deal was gigantic... all of this in a matter of 3 days because there was this absurd rush to get rid of us. I tried to negotiate my package as much as possible but in the end, there was no compromising by Farfetch... Terrible terrible experience. The Being Human value is only on paper, unfortunately, and only to serve as a banner for the company.
