Employee reviews
Virgin Media O2's employees have anonymously had their say in what they think of the company
Fab company to work for, benefits are superb and certain roles give lots of autonomy and flexibility. I love it so much, I am still here after 16 years.
I love the emphasis on ownership for every employee. Its not typical corporate and it is expected of me to take decisions and own them.
The people always come first and it's a very non-hierarchical environment. All about team-play and I have a great team; we work well together, support one another and get the job done. We have flexibility to work effectively and make sure that we have an open-door policy where we can share and learn from one another. I feel very supported and lucky to be a part of a team that values it's employees.
We have a very flexible working environment, including working from home as required and flexibility on hours worked. The flexibility means I can work around family commitments and I'm trusted to flex my hours up and down to get the job done. This is really valuable for me.

Making a big career change can be scary, especially in a different country.
We loved taking the time to chat with Kiki Zhang about her career journey from an administrator in China to a Business Intelligence Analyst in our B2B Wholesale team. It was great to hear about her dedication in wanting to learn more about data analysis and how she navigated communicating with her new team.

At the beginning of the month, our co-chairs of our Enrich network Eureka Cheema and Henna Tank got to speak at the first-ever British African Creators Conference at the Black-owned gallery Hope 93 in London, hosted by Chanel Boateng.
They shared why having a network like Enrich is so important, especially at Virgin Media O2 and acknowledged that content creators are necessary storytellers who not only create communities but also inspire generations and trends.
It was a terrific night surrounded by incredible art and we were so happy ...

As someone who has been through the adoption process themselves, Dean Cheetham understands just how crucial this time off is when you're getting ready to expand your family ❤️💙.
