Not for everyone

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.

Thanks for your review! We're pleased to hear you think Farfetch is one of the best Tech companies for junior roles as we are passionate about emerging talent and career growth. We would also like to thank you for sharing your positive feedback around our benefits and amazing team. We truly believe we offer great opportunities for both junior and experienced hires, demonstrated through our inspirational Executive team. We're focused on training our managers through our bespoke Learning & Development offering, to ensure that every Farfetcher is supported and receives a consistent experience throughout their journey with us. We understand your comments around the work space sometimes becoming noisy, we're constantly looking at initiatives to evolve our working environment and 'quiet spaces' is on our radar at the moment. We believe that the key to a great working environment is to create spaces that suit every Farfetcher and this is something that remains a priority for our team.

Pros

Clear company mission Vibrant community of employees Constantly improving If you're willing to work hard the opportunity to really contribute and be a big part of a great company

Cons

Because of the ambitions of the company the pace can sometimes be relentless but, as long as you build a good support network everyone is in the same situation and always willing to pull together

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We love receiving your comments around our company mission and global employee community! We definitely are constantly improving and we're currently developing our tools and processes to ensure our teams are able to achieve their big ambitions. We totally agree about the importance of prioritisation and we hope that the Objectives & Key Results framework we introduced last year will help us to focus on shorter-term goals in order to achieve our long-term strategy. Let's do this!
