Pros
- Some very talented people - Great tech stack - Nice office - Good Bonus
Cons
- Toxic culture post-Coupang acquisition: Farfetch is no longer the company it used to be. Since the Coupang takeover, a small group of ex-Coupang executives are now running the show with a completely different mindset: command-and-control, micromanagement, and zero trust for existing teams. - No stability or clear direction: The company is in constant flux. Strategic priorities change every few days, and teams are expected to pivot with little context or rationale. It creates a chaotic environment where long-term planning is impossible. - Decisions driven by politics, not insight: Leadership often disregards on-the-ground knowledge or data-driven recommendations. There’s little room for feedback or discussion, just top-down mandates. - Morale has plummeted: Redundancies, poor communication, and an increasingly fear-based atmosphere have left most teams demoralized. The best talent is leaving, and those who remain are overworked and undervalued. - Culture of fear and silence: Honest conversations or constructive feedback are no longer welcomed. People are afraid to speak up, and trust has eroded across all levels.
