Pros

Luxury brand with first access to their fashion shows. Great discount and staffwear perks. Deep immersion into the financial and fashion aspects of the business. Excellent opportunity to work in a cooperative environment with other merchants.

Cons

Luch al' desko is the only way to get a bite in during the day since nobody takes their alloted 1hr lunch. The "40hr" work week is really more of a 50hr week (higher levels often work weekends as well). Strict company policy prohibits personal effects in the office environment. Open office layout offers no privacy and only a few inches between you and coworkers.

Pros

Burberry is the most interesting, forward thinking organisation that I have ever worked for. They value ideas and provide an environment that is corporate yet fluid and creative which is a hard balancing act. The management team that I work with are really inspiring and have helped me to realise my potential. I have had 3 promotions in the past 18 months which really reflects the pace of change here. Angela Ahrendts and Christopher Bailey are truly inspiring and very approachable. There is a clear vision and strategy which is very refreshing compared to other organisations that I have worked for. The brand is really gaining momentum even though we have had very challenging market conditions and this is a testament to the hard work, dedication and joy that people feel about working here.

Cons

Due to the rapid expansion of the business in the past 3 years and the changes to most ways of working in all departments, there is often little time to reflect on completed projects as we are always moving onto the next one. There needs to be a bit more of a celebration of success. If you don't like change, ambiguity and a seriously fast paced environment then I am afraid that Burberry is not for you!
