Pros

Expensive coffee machine, snacks & fully stocked fridge

Cons

Plenty. You are sold dreams on development and there is no support for you to progress. They advise that you need to have done your role for 6 months minimum before applying for other roles internally, meanwhile, for other people this rule doesn’t apply to. Avoid if you want progression and to develop your skills. Join if you want to be a part of a glorified call centre.

Hi there - thank you for your candid review. Yes, we do ask that all employees give their current role at least 6 months before considering other roles internally. This is to ensure you've had enough time in role to fully experience the position and become embedded, this is the same for all our employees. We’re really keen to support people’s development & progress . Alongside normal, on the job support, we offer everyone £1,000 per year to use for their own development. Post 6 months, there is also ample choice to consider other positions within the wider Octopus family to further your career, if that's your wish to do so. If you'd like to discuss things further I am always available at tom.cheung@octopusev.com Tom Cheung (Head of Talent Acquisition)
