Pros

you can tell many of the employees are excited to be there and they do genuinely care about the success of the company

Cons

pay is not the most competitive and although you are given many chances to express your ideas, they likely will not come to fruition in this office

Great to hear you are enjoying the work environment and offices in Farfetch. We have invested a huge amount into creating beautiful work spaces that allow people to both think freely and work well together in teams. We take on board your comments about growth and retention. We recently created new opportunities for more than 20% of the workforce, and our turnover rate is lower than average for our industry. However we want everyone at Farfetch to understand their career paths and will be launching a career ladder next month for all employees to see how they can continue to grow and develop. Watch this space!
