      Customer Service Interview

      Feb 16, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus Energy in Jan 2021

      Interview

      Overwhelming. They expect you to know everything and have A level maths just to give customer service. A horrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend anyone go through this. They were friendly but for what they pay, they expect way too much from candidates

      Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and for your time and commitment during our recruitment process. I'm glad you found us friendly, we care to make that impression with all candidates. In terms of your other comments, it is a thorough process with incredibly high standards. The reason it is this way, is because we are unlike most other organisations that look after customers. It is a tough role where good numerical skills are key to delivering excellent customer service. Working through some of our innovative tariffs and billing systems needs a level of numeracy that we test during the process. Personally, I'm sad you found it overwhelming and I'll take time to reflect on this. The team and I wish you the very best with whatever you go on to do next. Kind regards, James Doyle Head of Talent, Culture & Space

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Leicester, Inglaterra)

      Interview

      Took about a month, from first interview to last stage. Was a draining experience as felt like a part time job in its self. Unfortunately didn’t get offered the job, wouldn’t have felt so bad if I didn’t get so far into the process. I understand they wanted the right candidate but to get to a stage 6 roughly of an interview process to say no felt disheartening.

      I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Leicester, Inglaterra)

      Interview

      Long interview process. Was done over a few different days. It was a good experience but I just thought it didn’t need to be so long winded considering the salary and job role. However seems like a great company to work for.
