Pros

One of the best Tech companies for entry level / junior roles (up to 3 years of experience) Free food, snacks, shuttle and some other interesting perks They can find a reason to celebrate every other day, if that's something you value Some really nice and smart people work there - you'll learn a lot from them

Cons

Possibly not a first choice for experienced people with well established careers - too many have failed and left prematurely The environment is so informal and relaxed that often some people get carried away and turn the open space into something like nursery school, not respecting those who are trying to focus on what they are supposed to be doing. Middle management variability in values and skills is obvious - your experience in the company may be awesome or dreadful, depending on the team you're in.

We appreciate your positive comments around our working environment, social events and inspirational Executive Leadership team! We're very sorry to hear your feedback around our mental health support and training as this is very important to us, on a global scale. As an example, in the UK we launched our well-being programme in October 2018 and well-being guardians throughout the business volunteered in order to ensure that everyone feels supported at work in regard to their mental and emotional well-being. We have also launched a new Culture Club to help maintain our brilliant, fun and inclusive culture as we continue to grow. Finally, all of our Managers are enrolled in a bespoke Manager Training programme to equip them with the skills needed to build brilliant teams; this includes a module around Mental Well-being. We hope these initiatives will assure you that we are dedicated to providing brilliant training, culture and well-being support at Farfetch.
