Pros

Nice toast, nice peers, lovely office.

Cons

I was actively discriminated here during my time at Boden. I raised a standard dyslexia support request, and felt it was used against me to ultimately push me out of the company. Destroyed moral and personal and professional confidence. Felt like a private girl's school, that if you didn't fit the mold you would be slowly pushed out, with discriminatory practices involving HR to ensure no liability. I thought perhaps it was personal, though have had three other colleagues experience this. Two fired, and one pushed out. A terrible culture of keeping up appearances and pressure to work late, without actually having any work to do. Approach with caution.

Pros

Their clothing allowance is nice.

Cons

Poor management and hr. Clear favoritism of employees. They give people advancements before they post the job position, so the job is filled but they let people interview any way, even though they know who they're hiring. The UK controls everything and doesn't include the US office on many events. Poor management. Lack of direction. High turnover. Miserable work environment with gossip and employees who are so underwhelmed with the way the company is run. Absolutely no opportunities for long term advancement. Not a place you'd want to retire from
