Pros

- It seems that everyone is bought into the Octopus vision and wants to make a different to the planet - There are some incredibly bright people here and the people I'm working with are really helpful and have given a lot of time to helping me understand the product - I've been given some massive customers to manage, so it's great to feel that confidence in me from my manager - Small things like free food, free hygiene products in the toilets, staff classes (yoga, painting etc.) and free Friday beer show that the company cares about its employees - The technology used here really is on another level to the competition, particularly Kraken - Friday Family Dinners (basically an all-company meeting on Fridays at 4pm) are always well attended, informative and generally very funny, as Greg likes to have a laugh and put people at ease - The offices are great and a lot of people work from them

Cons

- It's very minor, but as a non-technical person working in a tech company, the induction was a bit dev-heavy in parts (and therefore well over my head), but I passed on that feedback, so that may change in future.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really glad to hear you found the people at Kraken supportive and that you valued the autonomy in how you work; that’s something we aim to protect as we grow. On pay, we work hard to ensure our salaries are fair and competitive. We don’t aim to be at the very top or bottom of the market, but instead offer a balanced package that reflects our values, business model, and long-term sustainability. We also know that clear progression and consistent feedback are important. While growing quickly can sometimes mean changes in structure or management, we’re working on improving continuity - including through our leadership development programme, which many of our managers have completed or are currently taking part in. If you'd be open to chatting further or sharing more detail about your experience, I’d really welcome the conversation. Thanks again, Olivia Roberts olivia.roberts@kraken.tech

Pros

Strong mission statement and exciting growth, great opportunities to progress and learn, nice/friendly people sharing the same aspirations and vision, fast-paced changing environment, travel opportunities, the start of a good culture

Cons

Company is overall feeling growing pains. Senior management too busy to spend needed time on improving processes and adhering to better communication flows, culture isn’t as well translated in commercial teams as it is in product/tech teams, scope of working constantly changing, inefficient working practices with quick turn around asks, lack of feedback cycles and overall lack of feeling valued
