Pros

Nice office location, no overtime, fun Christmas party, staff allowance

Cons

CEO and company direction/strategy is the worst. No business strategy at all and the company is full of fashion kid wannabes. I have worked in many fashion companies but never in such an un-structured one. Working with juniors is wonderful for the energy and dedication they usually put in but if not managed properly it is unefficient. There are many managers but all of them are either sheeps that follow without guidance or have in reality zero power over the CEO final ever decision = unproductive micro management. Noone ever take responsability for its action. Senior advice is not welcome and you will be thanked if you go against them or not approve their decision (or undecision). It is the highest team turnover I have ever seen in my career, which does not help in settling team work efficiency and collaboration. If you are a professional please spare yourself.

Pros

Great shoe allowance Always lots going on- never boring I have worked at many different brands and the atmosphere at SWHQ is by far the friendliest. The team socialise a lot together and Bobby and Soph are nice people to work for.

Cons

no opportunity for career progression for me. Company is smaller than it used to be so I had a lot of work for one person. Chaotic at times If you prefer corporate environments then I would avoid SW.
