Pros

Some of the people working there are still worth it, although I guess it’s not going to be like rhis in the nearest future as everyone is looking forward to quit.

Cons

- No room for improvement, the company does not contemplate the usage of Senior specialists/agents and very rarely assigns managerial roles. - A spending agenda that made the company almost bankrupt: we were having the fanciest parties and always full of free meals until the company made the second massive layoff (first one in 2020) where whole departments were completely erased. And they don’t seem to ever learn the way to treat the employees, this last time they logged them out of emails ecc in less than 1 hour from the termination call, therefore leaving the former employees unable to even say goodbye to their teams and colleagues!!! - The company has clearly made some awful decisions in terms of leadership roles and has gone backwards compared to the other fashion e-commerce platforms. It is ages away from its competitors and is always going to sink deeper as investors have stopped contributing and the company has lost several million € in the past 7 months. - The People and Culture department is inexistent and inefficient. Complaints against managers fall into forgetfulness and even harassment in the workplace-related cases are not addressed properly/at all. - The marketing team is only taking into account the Scandinavian situation, therefore the company has not had the opportunity to be well-known in other European market, an unforgivable mistake. - The ratio between white people and the rest is 100 to 1. And they obviously promote inclusion. -Often time I have found myself to work overtime and I never had it paid over with an addition to my salary. I would never recommend anyone to work for them.
