Pros

my experience has been extremely autonomous, being able to fully manage my business and own my strategies. I've learned more here than in my past two companies combined, partnering cross-functionally with many different teams. I love my direct teammates, but our change in leadership has impacted overall culture of the team. There is a 360 feedback model, however little action appears to be taken once received. They do offer competitive salaries & benefits

Cons

High turnover is resulting in very poor morale and horrible work/life balance. With major changes to senior leadership (hiring of Amazon execs) there has been a dramatic decline in overall work/life balance. Our leadership team is also consistently receiving poor feedback around this and is unable to deliver any solutions or paths to improvement. Our team has consistent competing priorities, with additional meetings and reviews added to our schedule with minimal time to prepare. Loads of granular data & preseason work is done and is most of the time thrown out the window if our sales forecast declines, with no accountability on the marketing side to meet their customer acquisition targets (essentially any decrease in sales directly impacts buying with us having to rightsize inventory).

Pros

The people you actually work with are actually fantastic humans and brilliant engineers. They're eager to learn, collaborate, and help no matter what level they are or team they're on. You can make real friends here.

Cons

Unfortunately, the business just hasn't been as stable as it used to be. Leadership is always changing something and there isn't as much transparency about those decisions as there once was.

Pros

• I work with genuinely kind, supportive people who are always willing to jump in and help or give feedback to help me grow. • I've had the opportunity to partner with a variety of teams and build meaningful relationships across the business even from a remote setting. • Flexible work environment that allowed for a healthy work-life balance. • I've always felt trusted to manage my workload and bring new ideas to recruiting processes. • Mission-driven culture with employees who truly cared about helping clients feel confident in their personal style. • Great place to develop recruiting skills while working alongside talented and thoughtful teammates.

Cons

• Stakeholder alignment could take time when multiple teams were involved in hiring decisions. • I honestly don't have many cons to share. I can genuinely see myself working at Stitch Fix for many years to come. It's a company that truly values its people, and I'm proud to say I work here when people ask. The culture, mission, and people make it a place where I feel supported, challenged, and excited to contribute every day.
