Pros

Ability to gain lots of experience very quickly and work with a great range of departments and people.

Cons

Promotions and pay increases constantly overlooked yet roles and responsibilities constantly increased. Far too much expected of staff for compensation offered.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts – we’re really glad to hear you’ve found the experience here broad and rewarding, and that you’ve had the chance to work with great people across the business. That’s something we’re incredibly proud of – our people are our secret sauce! We also hear your point around recognition. No one should feel like they’re giving their all without that being seen, valued or fairly rewarded. We're proud to have launched pay transparency in 2025, meaning everyone has visibility of their pay range and development opportunities – coupled with an abundance of learning tools, from mentoring to a personal development pot. That said, we know there’s always more we can do to get that balance right, and feedback like this helps us keep improving. If you’d be happy to share more, we’re listening – feel free to drop us a line at people.team@virgin.com. – The Virgin People Team

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
