Pros

Working for Octopus Energy is a great opportunity to learn about a ground-breaking part of the Green Energy Industry. The passion, intelligence and charisma of the work place in infectious. You are trained on the job and will learn a lot from day one. Once you are in a team, there will be consan chances to learn, develop, and take on roles outside your standard daily work. If you are interested in something in the business, there is always the chance to explore this in one form or another if you make your voice heard. One of the best things about working in Operations is that there everyone is genuinely aiming to improve and make the office a better, more inclusive place to work- although it is not perfect, they are striving towards that.

Cons

You do go through times are extreme business and hard work- the business ebbs and flows throughout the month, and seasonal so you need to be prepared for fast changes of pace and workload. Pay is adjusted on an ad hoc basis pay reviews are not automatic or linked to titles, but based on employee request. This is sometimes frustrating or slow.

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.
