Pros

* Good work/life balance. * People are nice and polite. * Everybody speaks English (if you're an expat). * Many learning perks. * The tech is up-to-date compared to the wider international market. * Flexible work scheme is good. * Bonus & Shares.

Cons

* Many layers. Sometimes it is hard to get something done. Too early to have such a structure in such an young company. * Salary. The prices in Lisbon are quite high and the salary, (while OK by Portuguese IT standards) barely allows saving. Generally speaking (not Farfetch-related), if you're an expat planning to move to Lisbon, make sure you understand well the budget constraints. Also, if you have a partner that isn't in an IT-field, take into account the possibility that finding any other job will be extremely hard.
