Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. It's great to hear you understand the value and focus on teamwork at Octopus. Also, I'm delighted you're getting an opportunity to gain more responsibility in your role. This is key to your growth and success and that's why the majority of this extra responsibility goes to our existing team. At Octopus, everyone is a business owner/shareholder and we try to balance fair pay together with creating great learning and development opportunities. This is all supported by an equity scheme that truly shares the value we create in Octopus. We've already seen the value in that this year. You should feel really comfortable talking about pay with your manager and if you think your pay isn't fair, absolutely raise it, so we can either help get that sorted or explain the reasons why it is where it is. Thanks for your continued work and dedication! Cheers, James Doyle

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
