Pros

- Genuinely lovely people to work with, who are always willing to help you. - Learn so much through working on all aspects of an account - Open approach with management where you can offer feedback and it is taken on board - Communication platforms have been great during the lockdowns

Cons

- The people chosen for Team Leaders seems like they are in that position due to time in the company and not skill - As it is a growing company, it feels like there is little preparation for some changes that have a huge impact on the workload for energy specialists. - It is hard to create work/life balance at times as it is a very fast environment with some pressure - The pay could be a lot better for the job you are doing

Pros

I like how welcoming the team is to new starters such as myself. Octopus has an amazing team with positive behavior towards work

Cons

As a new starter, I think Octopus is a good company to work for because they have a reliable, supportive, and friendly staff, however, as a new starter I think they could shorten the applications process.

Pros

Thoroughly enjoyed the discovery day that octopus offer! Really interesting and fun to meet the current employees and do various customer service and research based tasks. Tayla at Instant Impact made this whole process much easier and gave me great tips, reassurance and advice throughout, so HUGE thanks to her!

Cons

A lot of stages to the recruitment process, however only took a week from first step to job offer so the stages will move quickly and each of them are interesting. Psychometric tests where quite challenging, so make sure you revise thoroughly!
