Pros

My onboarding experience was excellent, Ellie Thomas-Leek was a really friendly and helpful recruiter who made the process as easy as possible. Everyone at Octopus is genuinely happy to be working for the company, and everyone is always super helpful and communicative. Management are always open to new ideas and improvements to processes, I always feel like a valued member of the company and that my voice is heard.

Cons

It would be great if health insurance was included for free or at a more discounted rate

Pros

Billie was assigned to me as my Talent Agent, and she guided me through the recruitment process from start to finish. She was very friendly and always available to answer any questions. She gave me my first impression of Octopus and the culture of the Company, and heavily impacted my decision to continue through the interview process and eventually accept the role. Thank you Billie! I had a series of 4 interviews, meeting different members of the team each time. They were all very friendly and accurately represented life at Octopus. Overall, I accepted the job very well informed regarding both the position and Octopus as a Company. I really appreciated being able to feel confident that the role was what I was looking for, and that I would enjoy working within the team.

Cons

I applied for the position via LinkedIn on 11/06/2024. I was offered an interview on 11/07/2024, so there was a bit of a gap between submitting my application and hearing back. I had a series of interviews, with the final interview being on 13/08/2024, so overall the process was quite slow. This was due to interviewers being on annual leave over summer, which is understandable. Overall, this didn't put me off accepting the job, I just would have loved to have been able to start sooner!

Thank for leaving a review of your time with us. I'm pleased to read that you liked some of the benefits of working in our Customer Ops team such as the free flowing food and drinks on offer so all employees can have breakfast and lunch and no cost. I'm sorry to hear about how you perceived a lack of progression. As Director of Customer Operations I've extremely proud that 75% of our frontline leaders in install support teams are internal promotions. All our hiring decisions are based on who is the best candidate for the job and we encourage anyone who feels they are not getting the recognition they deserve to discuss this in 121's with line manager and utilise the many other communications channels we have so everyone has the opportunity to be heard. I regularly respond to feedback and have open and valuable conversations 121 with our awesome frontline team members, as do the rest of the leadership team, as you'll know being a member of the team in the past. These conversations help to give clarity on what you can do to develop your aspirations for leadership and focus on the things you need to do, as well as support your understanding of the reality of our leadership progression, which in our case has created an extremely diverse leadership team across our various offices. Thanks for your time with us and the work you did helping our customers. Wishing you well in future endeavours. Ben Palmer
