Pros

Looks good on your CV. Some of the benefits are nice like the in-house cafe which does breakfasts and lunches. Good coffee machine. A few lovely, well meaning people & I will give them kudos for their Diversity & Inclusion work.

Cons

Genuinely one of the most toxic places I've ever had the misfortune to work. The bullying from management is unreal, if you have a role without "manager/director/head of" in it, you shouldn't expect to be treated well. If you admit you are struggling with the impossible work load, you will be told to get used to it and fix up or get out. Unrealistic expectations followed by belittling attitudes when you fall short. My mental health suffered under the tyrannical team I worked for & seemed to be a shared feeling among the few people I spoke to about it.

We love a bit of feedback – but this one doesn’t quite look like it’s for us. If you meant to review another Virgin company (or a totally different one!), no worries – easy mistake to make. We’ll leave this here just in case!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feedback. We’re really sorry to hear you left feeling overworked and frustrated with leadership. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have, and your feedback really matters. We pride ourselves on creating a genuine sense of belonging — where everyone feels their time and energy are valued, and where they can make a real impact, not just clock long hours. We're investing in some brilliant, purpose-led leadership programmes to help our leaders lead with clarity, confidence and care. And it’s great to hear you enjoyed our perks — we’re proud of what comes with being part of the Virgin family. We especially love welcoming our New York colleagues to the UK and seeing that global connection come to life. If there’s more you’d like to share, we’d love to hear it – feel free to get in touch at people.team@virgin.com. – The Virgin People Team
