      I have been working at ASOS full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      It's almost always calm, no stress on mobile devs
      They truly value quality over quantity/time-pressure
      Very professional environment
      Lot of room to learn and grow

      Cons

      Sometimes promotions are up to financials (even though the company has a VERY stable financial background)
      Mobile development is not agile, more like waterfall
      There are no feature squads, but teams are made from homogenous members (a team is all web devs or android devs for example)

      Advice to Management

      A deeper look into Conway's law could benefit the software and the team as well

      Pros

      Great discount
      Great sample sales
      Colleagues are all friendly
      Fun events held during Easter, Christmas etc
      Good progression
      Training for your role
      Canteen is subsidised, and food is actually worth eating
      Cool gym with classes you can take which means no excuses as to why you can’t exercise :)

      Cons

      Can’t think of any, fast paced and a lot of work like any job worth having.

      I worked at ASOS full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Great culture, strong retail people, brand, opportunity (for a little bit longer), exposure to interesting projects and other ideas, potential to lead into a new eComm era

      Cons

      lack of real innovation, mismanagement of resources (financial, people), short sighted as to the industry future, focused on short term sales, general fear of doing new things, london-centric mentality,

      Advice to Management

      do less things better, every challenge (large and small) is currently given similar attention in terms of seniority, people and financial effort. Better role and remit allocation could easily solve this

      Pros

      The company has a great culture and the learning opportunity is great through the academy, the people are amazing and it's a lot of fun. The technology is good from an engineering team perspective. Had amazing autonomy and flexible working.

      Cons

      Need to listen to the people in mid level positions more before making decisions which impact their job on the software they use. Also need to remember what people are inspired by, using all money for certain events where we're unsure of the purpose instead of salaries doesnt feel right.
