Pros

Octopus Energy is a welcoming and supportive environment, always giving you the time and space to grow - and the flexibility to grow in the way you'd like to! Everybody here really does care, and the culture is as good as it's made out to be through the interview process.

Cons

It's a very fast paced environment to work in and there is a lot of information to learn - I am still learning things after 1 year - However this feels like a positive because you grow and learn so much with your time here because of this.

Pros

The supportive and caring nature of this office. All teams really work hard and support one another to get the work done. The company knows when we are working really hard, when things get tough from time and time so they reward and recognise us frequently and always check on our wellbeing.

Cons

Really fast paced environment, lots to learn and as Octopus and the energy industry grows there is a lot of constant training to keep on top of.
