My transition into tech: an unconventional career journey
Hi, I’m Jodie, an Associate Cloud Security Engineer at Immersive Labs. My journey to this role wasn’t a typical one, but has been very enjoyable and has given me a breadth of experience to draw from in the few months I’ve been here. In this post, I’ll share my journey to date and the skills…
What does Black History Month mean to you?
I’ll be honest and say that in the past, I didn’t give it much thought. My initial impression was that it was an initiative that was mainly American – it was a time when everyone focused on black achievements and issues for one month of the year. October would roll around each year, LinkedIn profiles…

A day in the life of Katie, Associate Data Analyst
It’s difficult to pin down the daily routine of someone in the data team as it’s so new and we’re growing so fast, but I’ll give it my best shot! I normally turn up to the office at about 8:30, very breathless from my frantic cycle to work after leaving home 10 minutes later than…
Understanding privilege
Fuelled by powerful global movements, the concept of white privilege has exploded into the mainstream over the past few years. I want to share my journey towards understanding the meaning of privilege, and how I am trying to turn this understanding into positive action. First, a little about me. I am a white, middle-aged, heterosexual…
The secret to Immersive Labs’ explosive growth? Employee happiness.
Since the beginnings of the tech boom, the equation for success has always been closely tied with working long hours, hustle culture and the expectation that people never fully untangle their personal and work lives. Isn’t it time that the formula for tech glory was rewritten? The leaders of Immersive Labs would say so. The company, which…
Post Pandemic Life – Are you there yet?
As with pretty much every other organization, we’ve spent the past year carefully maneuvering through a unique situation. Thankfully, with the guidance of a few core principles, we’ve been able to stay unified, connected and supported. We’ve learned a few lessons along the way about what we want to take with us into the post-pandemic…
Neurodiversity is my superpower!
2020 didn’t bring much positivity to the world, but if lockdown had a silver lining, it’s that it enabled me to learn much more about myself. Hey, I’m Nye and I’m a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer here at Immersive Labs, and I consider myself “neurodiverse”. Approximately 15% of the UK population is thought to also come…
A day in the life of Mike, Lead Front End Developer
Friday morning. It’s been a busy week, and there’s a lot on today’s agenda. I start the day by checking my calendar and daily to-do list. As a Lead Developer on one of Immersive Labs’ Engineering teams my work is varied, and I find it helpful to break the day up into little chunks to…
The Art of Belonging
Starting a new job is always a daunting prospect. New people to get to know, a new office to find your way around, a new commute to perfect the timings of. Having offered you the job in the first place, the new company must be relatively confident that you can provide what they will be…

International Women’s Day 2021: Choose to Challenge
Those who know me will know that I am not a shy and retiring person – I share what’s on my mind, and some would say I wear my heart on my sleeve. It all began back in the 1960’s: my two sisters and I were brought up in a household with a strong mother…
A day in the Life of Rae, Associate Cyber Security Engineer
It’s mad to think that I’ve been working here for nearly a year now! I still get super excited whenever someone asks me to explain what I do for a living: ‘I hack things, and teach other people how to hack things’ – and I bloody love it! …
