I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Manchester, Inglaterra) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview process is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. It tried to be. Revolutionary but absurd. Experience counts for nothing. It’s a telephone competency interview followed by 2 online tests , then a 4 hour assessment day , then another half hour interview. All this for a salary of 20k!! They ‘don’t look at CVs’ so if you have management experience don’t bother as it’s basically inexperienced kids they’re looking for. An absolute awful company to interview for. I’d definitely avoid

Competency interviews
Maths and another reasonability test
Silly and absolutely pointless 4 assessment day
Another interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Berlín)
Interview
Sehr positive Gesprächsatmosphäre! Die Interviewer waren locker, zugänglich und gut vorbereitet. Besonders positiv ist mir aufgefallen, dass wirklich auf meine Antworten eingegangen wurde, anstatt nur einen Standard-Fragenkatalog abzuarbeiten. Ich habe mich zu jedem Zeitpunkt wertgeschätzt gefühlt.

I applied online. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Warwick, West Midlands, England)
Interview
Fairly intense, hard to adjust to zoom interviews, but an efficient method to decide that ultimately the role wasn't suitable for my particular skills.
Role plays, team tasks etc and 1 to one interviews.

Question 1
Typical questions you would expect, lots of role play and brainstorm activities.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Manchester, Inglaterra) in Dec 2025
Interview
Very easy and understandable interview. Used an online questionnaire and video interview. Also very good communication and quick response time. Setting up meetings and discovery day was also effortless. Not a stressful interview process.
