Pros

The only few pros is that you get health benefits and catered lunch once a week

Cons

- no room for career advancement - supervisors and HR practice nepotism - archaic tools and they do not improve them - micro-management right down to monitoring restroom breaks - no yearly bonus is granted if the company has ONE bad quarter during the year - VERY LOW PAY - back to back phone calls - high turn over rate - no transparency or communication from management

I love working here

Pros

It’s exciting to work for such an innovative company and to be part of the journey. You can feel that people are dedicated to their jobs and are proud to work for Farfetch. Recently there has been a lot of investment in training and development. You will meet many talented people and managers and opposed to the reputation of the fashion industry make friends easily. The team spirit is great and there is a sense of belonging. The work can be challenging, but I always felt that the business takes an active approach in keeping employees happy and motivated (work from home options, flexitime, breakfast, good benefits, social events).

Cons

The salaries are not shockingly low, but could be higher compared to other tech businesses of that size. It seems difficult and lengthy to get a pay rise or promotion but it’s certainly not impossible and hard work seems to the rewarded. Since it’s a growing, global company it can sometimes be a difficult to get an insight in what other departments are doing and see the larger scale.

Just don't go there

Pros

- Flexible working hours - Junior team members are extremely nice and hard-working - Positive company culture (at a surface level)

Cons

- Positive company culture is purely at surface level - after only a few weeks on the job I could see just how political the place was, there are 0 consequences to bullying and harassment cases - Consistently compare themselves to tech companies (Google, Facebook, etc) yet refuse to dedicate any real investment into training current employees, promoting them, etc. again it's all at surface level - Zero reward for being a high-performance employee - no merit salary increases, stock refreshes and incredibly hard to get promoted (managers are often brought externally) - Lack of common sense across the company, especially within senior management
