Pros

Since I started working with Octopus Energy I can see why our company culture is regarded so highly! In the short I've been here I already feel that I have been trained properly enough to effectively perform my job with the level of autonomy that I have been given. Octopus truly wants us employees to succeed and I always have plenty of resources available to be effective at my job and if you want to grow in other areas of the organization it is always highly encouraged! If you're looking for a company that truly cares about it's employees you could find few better than Octopus.

Cons

Because of the ability to grow in as many areas of the company as you want to there isn't a set career path once you join which if you like knowing the steps for moving up it can be a little difficult.

Pros

The culture and the people are great. I worked at my previous company for eight years and almost immediately felt at home here. The entire tech team is very supportive and works well together to get features turned around quickly without the constant, overwhelming pressure you hear about from FAANG companies. Also the benefits are better than most US-based companies and they're flexible with your schedule if you need to work from home, go to appointments, etc. Once you're hired, they trust you and treat you like an adult. Lastly, if you are passionate about climate change, this is a place you can feel proud to work. The overarching mission of the company is to battle this crisis every way it can, and that makes for really exciting growth opportunities.

Cons

The environment demands that you learn fast and will take the initiative to ask questions when you're ready. You have to be a good self-manager to excel. By design, there is very little structure around on-boarding so it's easy to feel a little lost at the beginning of your employment.
