Octopus Energy reviews

Octopus really do care about their staff and you can tell even by the amount of effort put into the interview process. I had three interviews (one with a recruitment agent from Instant Impact, then a team leader/manager and finally Head of recruitment) in order to determine that the company and I were the best fit for each other, rather than a one-sided evaluation. Therefore, I was asked about what I would want from the company, working environment, management style etc. I also had a lot of support from Instant Impact, who coached me before the interviews and answered all of my questions. Despite me starting this job during lockdown, the company adapted quickly so the training process has been planned in detail, so you always know exactly what stage you're in and what's coming next. The pre-training and training team are amazing, they're happy to answer any questions and often do group video calls to check up on how everyone is doing. Also, most new recruits start in groups, so you have the help and support of each other too.

Friendly and collaborative environment. Both challenging and rewarding, fluid progress that allows us to move in a direction that works to our strengths. Fast paced, always changing. Lots of people for support.
