FARFETCH reviews

People have had enough and are leaving the company in droves, every week is someone’s leaving drinks, not surprising as staff have been underpaid for years (tip for existing staff: you won’t get a pay rise until you threaten to quit), backfills are rare or weak at best as anyone with sense would avoid this company like the plague. Senior leadership and HR are non existent (only one c suite member left standing, no head of HR and people team seems to be full of employment lawyers these days). Despite years of low pay in the past at least I could say that Farfetch was a “fun” place to work with “nice people” but sadly that is no longer true.

For the past 2 years the company has been dying a slow death. Initially this was just in terms of the poor growth outlook and dwindling finances (which led to redundancies) and now this is also in terms of company culture and team moral (following the delisting from the NYSE and take over by Coupang). Loads of good employees have had enough and are jumping ship. The leadership team has desperately offered all employees a 20% bonus for staying but unfortunately even this isn't enough of an incentive to stay onboard and keep plugging holes...
