Pros

2 days a week wfh

Cons

They state you get unlimited holiday, you do not you only get an extra 2/3 days. You get made to work late every week for free. You only get 23 days holiday. They expect you to work constantly throughout the day and are heavy on stats and you have to let them know if you wish to leave the desk or use the bathroom and are tracked for any time left at the desk. It’s very heavy on the phones and is basically a call centre every day. I was told very different in my interview with octopus.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
