A place to learn, not to invest your career.

Pros

- Nice healthy perks: fruit, yogurts, coffee, bread, milk, cookies, soup. - Good for young and/or inexperienced people: you will learn a lot in just a few months (business development, operations. marketing, processes, fashion market, data, tech, etc... and, of course, office politics). - Good for top-executives: good pay and the opportunity to travel the world. - Some top and nice professionals to work with and learn from. - "Jumping forward" business due to its visionary founder: every year there are always new investors coming in and new ideas/opportunities to explore, learn from (by some) and invest.

Cons

- Average low wages when comparing to competitors (all areas, all locations), except for top management (head, director and above). - Really bad middle to top management: either inexperienced or "very old school" (read: control & command), usually very bad listeners or completely powerless, being most of them arrogant and/or control freak. - Highly hierarchical structure with lots of levels, lots of silos, and with a very top-down command & control culture. - How does a company value its own Values? They do not count for promotions, raises, bonus or whatever. Zero. - The only thing that counts for your career development is how well you manage the office politics, or the position you got on the career ladder when you were hired in the first place (the higher the better). - In short: toxic environment due really bad middle to top managers (not all, but almost).

Great company in theory but terrible in practise

Pros

A modern people-focused ethos, big new office, good perks like breakfast and Friday drinks

Cons

Poor management -two of the worst managers Ive ever encountered in a workplace. One was a tyrant and a bully who like to rule by putting people down. The other was totally uninterested in her team, couldn't deal with the pace and zero humanity.

Pros

Very positive environment to work for. Co-workers are all very friendly and approachable. No feel of hierarchy. The talent team is great and massively helpful. I felt very welcome from day one and everyone in the team is very friendly. so far everything seems to be very positive. The vibe, the culture the office space and most importantly the people here are beyond amazing! So far it feels like Farfetch it is a great place to work and there is so much to learn here. The leadership and management is approachable and they care about their employees, I am glad and proud to be a Farfetcher.
