Pros

Consistent Work Culture is Nice Family Lunch Wednesdays Cool Artsy Building Cool People Occasional Bonuses

Cons

Severely Under Paid!For the amount of work and stress this job entails. Management is a Full Blown Mess Internal Departments lack all structure when it comes to correspondence. Little to no help from Supervisors with escalations HR is questionable No respect for CS input on internal problems. They blatantly do not improve internal issues. Therefore, all the heat from the Customers falls back on the CS reps when it's another internal departments fault or a boutique. TRASH.

Pros

- I worked for Farfetch at a very exciting time of growth so there was a lot of opportunity to develop professionally in the company. - The salaries for managerial positions are reasonable and there is a good bonus program in place. - In general good benefits package.

Cons

- The company is heavily invested in promoting a "cool culture" that will make it desirable for the outside world/future employees but when it comes to people who are already in the company they frequently become easily replaceable and are pushed out. - A lot of promises are made regarding career prospects but are rarely kept. - Investment in internal talent has been decreasing in lieu of hiring senior people from big companies.

Thanks for your review, we appreciate your honest feedback on glassdoor as it highlights what we are doing well and what we still need to develop. As the CEO it is important to me that we invest in our People. The launch of our new Career Ladder program provides transparency to everyone about how they can continue to grow in Farfetch and the many paths they may take. I will personally keep a close eye on the progression and development of our internal talent first, as it is so important to the culture of our business. I am pleased to hear that you feel our compensation and benefits are fair as we have put a lot of work into this for all of our people

Pros

- Good balance between family and work - Meals 2 times per week, despite their quality. - CEO is really a great human being

Cons

- Career stalled and newcomers are choosen by being former colleagues of some new incoming Directors and not by their quality - Infrastructure leadership is acting as bottleneck for every single IT department, and they don’t know the Farfetch values and don’t respect the CEO vision. - Huge cloud infrastructure, wrongly managed and people who are not specialists on stacks such as Kafka, Rabbit, SqlServer, Cassandra, ElasticSearch, managing that kind of technology. - Internal disputes regarding who owns what.
