Internal team conflicts delay progress

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great office, generally friendly people, good perks like free breakfast although these perks are slow disappearing without a word. Some teams work really well and always ensure they have their goals front of mind and work towards these rather than trying to people please departments and seniors that have no knowledge of their department.

Cons

Some other teams bicker among themselves rather than focusing on the goal. Young managers with little experience allow some people to get away with making minimal contributions to targets while others are made to carry the rest of the team. Not everyone is judged the same way and it is not a level playing field whatsoever. People play dumb in order to spend the day on asos or instagram rather than supporting colleagues who face pressure to out perform.

Thanks very much for your review and honest feedback. We’re very proud of our wide range of perks and working environment! However, we are sorry to hear that you feel internal team conflicts are delaying progress. Collaboration and teamwork are the fundamental behaviours that translate our "Todos Juntos" value. We totally agree that a clear strategy is the best way to deliver our mission and that's why we use OKRs (Objectives & Key Results). According to our most recent engagement survey, 89% of Farfetchers feel that their daily work contributes significantly to our mission. This is something we are proud of and will continue to champion.

Great company culture but lacks in growth

Pros

Fantastic company culture Entire C level board is incredibly inspiring Can learn and work across many teams with collaboration but this is up to the individual to create these relationships

Cons

Career growth is lacking - it is easier to work here for a year then move on to another company for the job title you deserve + pay Very little internal promotions HR pretends that it is celebrated to move within the company but make it next to impossible to do so (I have worked here for many years and know less than 5 people who have been able to transfer to a different team not counting redundancies...) If you want to learn anything about different teams in the business and grow it is entirely up to you, most management now blocks most interactions and/or have no desire to help their team grow and learn
