Pros

No company is perfect but I had great development opportunities and great mentorship In our department we can openly talk about ideas and improvement and it will be valued Some of the HR partner especially those in L&D are great! Great if you have a family- loads of flexibility (hybrid working, and flexible timing)

Cons

Ambiguity in communication can be felt sometimes Climbing the job ladder is hard and unclear

Thank you for your review. We’re so pleased that you’ve benefited from personal development, mentorship, continuous improvement and support from HR, whilst at Victrex. It’s also great to hear your thoughts on our flexible working, which so many of our employees benefit from. We always aim to be as clear as we can in our communications but recognise that we’re not perfect – as you say. However, we always try to listen, learn and improve, as part of our ‘continuously improving’ core behaviour. In terms of career progression, we’ve introduced a number of things in recent years to support this – from transparent job families, job levels and access to all role profiles, through to detailed technical competency frameworks by role and team/function. These, alongside our core behaviour and leadership competency frameworks, and internally-advertised job opportunities, all help to support career progression and allow employees to see the expectations of roles that they may not have previously considered. We actively encourage self-led development. Thank you again for your review and we wish you continued happiness and success at Victrex.

Thank you for your review, which we appreciate. We’re proud of our competitive benefits – thank you for mentioning just some of them in your review. We recently reviewed and updated our Annual Bonus Plan to create more opportunity for payment to our employees, and we’re pleased to say that a bonus payment was triggered and paid in December 2025 to all eligible employees, globally.

Thanks for your review and your positive comments about rewards, benefits, people and product. We’re sorry to hear that you felt the ‘workload and stressful environment’ were not sustainable. We do encourage high performance at Victrex, but not at the expense of employee wellbeing. That’s why we offer flexible and hybrid working and support for our employees in many ways, ranging from regular and open discussions with managers and/or HR, to free, independent, and confidential 24-hour support, for employees and their direct family members. Our culture is one of doing the right thing, by working together and supporting each other to drive results, improving the way we work and providing the best solutions for our customers. We’re sorry that your own personal experience didn’t reflect these things.
