Pros

Clean office, young environment, good socials

Cons

The management within Renewable (OES) is terrible. In my 6mo term, they halved commission, doubled targets, increased pricing three times (we were already expensive compared to market), and changed us from regular office hours to working weekends and evenings with no prior warning or consulting the staff.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. I'm sorry to hear that Octopus didn't meet your expectations during your time with us. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive. The Low Carbon Tech Team is growing and evolving rapidly, and we recognise that the pace and demands may not be suitable for everyone. We are actively working to improve our ways of working, from communication to managing change, to ensure a smoother experience for all. I know there has been a lot more change than anticipated and some of that has been implemented pretty speedily which may have been uncomfortable - we are determined to help bring the team on the journey so we can gather feedback and pivot based on our team's needs. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed certain aspects of the role and life at Octopus. We strive to make everyone feel at home and in a space to thrive, so it's good to know that, even though you're no longer with us, you found some enjoyment during your time here. If you’d like to talk more or have additional thoughts, we’d welcome the opportunity to listen. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, Emily Hall Head of Engagement

Pros

Company car Good benefits good entry level pay

Cons

Make sure you have atleast £800 to spend getting started with this company. Awful management, Constant scrutiny with little help to improve, do not bother applying to work for them unless you can cope with bullying from higher up and having a new manager every 2 weeks and being out of pocket for charging your forced electric vehicle
