Pros

- If you care about the energy transition, this is a great place to have a real impact and work towards decarbonising the energy sector. - So far (less than a year), I have been well-treated, fairly paid, and I've enjoyed working with some lovely, caring colleagues. - Freedom to manage your office/home working, working hours, and task prioritisation. - Great office spaces!

Cons

- Fast growth (which is necessary to have a big impact) means lots of organisational changes and workloads spike if you don't have the right number of people in the right teams/roles. Having said that, management are keen to intervene once you raise it yourself. - As others have suggested, career progression steps are not defined very clearly, but I've been here less than a year.

Pros

- Very friendly and supportive team who want to help you learn and develop - You are given a lot of freedom and autonomy - Flexible working conditions, you are trusted to get on with your job and not micro-managed - The London office is lovely and really comfortable with nice snacks and fresh fruit - It's great to be working somewhere with such an important mission. There is a really fun and positive atmosphere as the company and wider Octopus Energy Group is driving innovation in the energy space and is involved in loads of exciting projects.

Cons

- No private healthcare or dental which is pretty standard for similar sized tech companies - Lack of transparency around salary and benefits - this can disadvantage groups who have been traditionally under-represented and under-paid in tech
