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

Thanks so much for your kind words – we’re really proud of the mission, the brilliant people behind it, and the energy that comes with doing things a little differently. We know our goals are bold and ambitious – that’s because we care deeply about making a meaningful impact. In our New York office, the team benefits from being part of a small, tight-knit group, coupled with the exciting opportunity to collaborate with our London-based teams, as well as our broader colleagues across the Virgin Group. That said, we always want our people to feel set up to succeed – not stretched to the point of struggle – and feedback like this helps us check that balance. If there’s more you’d like to share, we’d love to hear it – just drop us a note at people.team@virgin.com. – The Virgin People Team
