MEET OUR PEOPLE
“Virgo has provided an excellent platform for professional growth since I joined as a fresh graduate. What truly sets Virgo apart is the unwavering support from the team, cultivating a collaborative and encouraging atmosphere that allows both personal and professional growth.”
The past few months working at Virgo has been absolutely delightful! Everyone in the company is incredibly warm and the positive vibes at this company are contagious. What I have enjoyed most so far is the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world, and the opportunity to learn from lessons, big and small.”
“I used my Virgo Go All Outside prize [£500 for a weekend away] to explore the heart of Berlin. I got to experience the rich history of the city, view iconic landmarks, cycle through Berlin’s largest park in autumnal colours and enjoy what the modern city had to offer. After being unable to travel for so long this was an amazing opportunity.”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working at Virgo so far – it is a welcoming and enjoyable place to work with plenty of benefits. There are so many opportunities to get involved in different projects across the business – from pharmaceutical to consumer health – meaning you can diversify your role and be supported in doing it. Every day is different and I have met some incredible and talented colleagues along the way.”
