Pros
Great culture and fun and challenging place to work that looks after you, gives lots of opportunities to develop yourself, if you take them, and promotes from within. Loads of opportunities to get involved in voluntary or other initiatives out side of your normal day job.
Rapidly expanding business so any team you join is likely to keep on growing giving you loads of potential to grow.
Rapidly improving tech stack , that gives lots of you a chances to work on the latest technologies.
Great parties, for summer and Xmas, and reduced hours on Fridays in the summer so you can leave at 3pm!Cons
At the moment there is quite a bit of building works on the office to cater for the expanding workforce, so it maybe noisy at times.

"Fun and Rewarding"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at ASOS full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great offices, great people, great benefits, the BEST staff culture, your individuality is embraced and you can be (and wear) what you want, help and training to develop you in your role and beyond are available. Everything at ASOS is yours for the taking should you want to go and get it. It's easy to network and everything is attainable should you work hard enough to deserve it. A truly, truly great company to work for.
Cons
Teams are divided, if you get a good team, great, if you don't, you could experience some petty behaviour typical of fashion industries. Also you are VERY replaceable, which is a good thing too, but in my experience, people/managers didn't always keep to their word if they promised something.
Advice to Management
1. keep doing what you're doing and rewarding and supporting people brilliantly. 2. try to keep to the above even when there is no direct correlation between benefitting you

Pros
Working at ASOS is just amazing. The company culture and the company environment is just incredible. It really feels like being part of something very cool and the company really takes care of employees and of their happiness.
I have never worked in such an amazing environment and I’m super happy to be part of it.Cons
Given the size of the company, things sometimes can get a little messy or slow. But that is part of the game and the price to pay to work at such a big scale. Things are anyways improving as the company is putting effort at making things better.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at ASOS full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Good benefits, sample sale, good holiday scheme, ASOS discount, free coffee and tea, good canteen, depending on the manager opportunities to get a better position
Cons
It feels like like im back in school sometimes and I’d rather get more money than have drinks at work etc. there’s very often no communication or a lot of miscommunication between the senior management and advisors. There’s no consistency in managing styles and there are a lot of people who should never be a part of the management.
Advice to Management
No more decisive od you’d rather be a cool company that lets people to be authentic brave and creative as stated or a normal call center.

Pros
40% Staff Discounts on all items, insurance, Good pension contribution Scheme, Child vouchers if you have kids,
Cons
very heavy workload, Low salaries, Lots of layers of management, Almost impossible to grow or change teams inside that company. Could very unfair at times. Very harsh negotiation techniques when it comes to the offered salary for the same team of 4 each one was on a different salary
Advice to Management
Have a 360 review rather than one way channel of review from Managers to employees, Align your salaries with market rates. B

The pay is good for the job your doing
Cons
Left on your own and hard to find help if needed

Everything is shown to you in one day then your left to do the job which is ok if you only had one job but different floors mean different equipment which is a lot to remember in one day
