Pros

Staff benefits: discounted flights for yourself, friends and family

Cons

Toxic culture at HQ. Narcissistic middle management. Unsafe place. 80% of the people who was hired at or around the time I joined have since left or are dissatisfied with the environment. People who voiced concerns are dismissed and reprimanded. Direct managers don't look after their staff - information shared in confidence is discussed as gossip. There is a group of middle managers who formed a coallition that not only supress their staff, but protect each other. It is terrible. This group has sent a few people to theraphy, including me. It is very sad to hear they are still actively creating an environment that is unsafe. Virgin was by far the worst company I worked for, culture wise.

Pros

Office environment was great, even though it was a cubicle farm. Systems and processes were very good. Benefits for travel were very good. Facilities were really good too. Lots of really great people.Flexible work hours available.

Cons

Hierarchy was obvious but to be expected. You need to have a thick skin if you are working on a temporary contract.
