Pros

I think Octopus has really tried its hardest in recent months/years to improve salaries for staff as well as benefits. It promotes a great wellbeing culture and people here are more like close friends than colleagues.

Cons

I do think it can almost lean too much into the 'everyone deserves a second, third chance' and it hesitates when putting people on PIPs or letting them go when they are doing a really bad job and bringing down the rest of the team.
