Fantastic Opportunity

Pros

When I first heard about the role I was slightly sceptical as I've never worked from home before. However, Octopus Energy is innovating and refreshing where the norm in this world is 9-5. Octopus are far from the norm, they promote flexible working, whether it's doing less hours or working from home, they support you. The staff from top to bottom all work in sync, whether your a team leader or operations manager, they all get stuck in and lead from the front! Seeing things like that makes you want to push harder for the company. Only been here for about 2 months now and honestly, probably one of the best companies I've been at. They are flexible, they are understanding and they encourage and support you as there is plenty of room for progression. My friends find it hard to believe that I have such a job!

Cons

It be easier to name all the countries in the World!

Pros

Digiops is a unique and innovative flexible working environment which allows me to work full time from home during hours that suit me around 2 young children. I am able to make a valuable contribution both at home and at work. The culture at Octopus is like no other, everyone is super helpful and supportive of each other and we all share the same passion for the company and it's values. Even working from home I still feel apart of the wider team and company as a whole cloud based technology to communicate. We are treated with the utmost trust and respect, making it such a fantastic place to work. Often making me want to give my all and go above and beyond for them. It doesn't feel like a job when you love it so much!

Cons

I don't have any cons.
