    • Fellow engineers at Virgin Media are really supportive and help me if ever I am in need. I always know I can rely on their support.

    10/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • We have training sessions every month but they have been remote so sometimes it has been difficult to grasp all the information.

    6/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • The information is quite general and more related to IT than our technical site build department so I would say it doesn't help a great deal.

    6/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • Yes we have regular meetings with members of other teams and even have word puzzles and quizzes every week.

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Virgin Media O2 to a friend?
