Pros

OEV is very diverse and accommodating to reasonable adjustments in the workplace and everyone is celebrated for being different. New ideas and forward thinking are encouraged and welcomed with open arms and everyone is made to feel important to the company. The work is flexible and you’re trusted to get things done without the clock being watched. Free breakfast and snacks in the office and SO much recognition for working hard. I am so proud to work for Octopus!

Cons

I don’t really have any.

Pros

Free drinks every once in a while. Would recommend Octopus as a wider group but most definitely not OEV.

Cons

Pay is too low. Commission scheme not paid for vehicles sold because too many people employed and too little leads to go around. Many middle managers bought in from accross the industry with old school management styles trying to fit into a fast developing forward thinking company.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. My name is Ollie and I lead all of the growth teams here at Octopus EV. The most important part of my role is to to create an amazing culture in which people are able to thrive and enjoy working here. As a fast growing business we do definitely make mistakes along the way and we don’t get everything right. Feedback like this is really valuable, we really encourage all feedback - we survey all team members once a week to find out how things are going and on a personal, less formal, basis I am always keen to make time to catch up and find out how things are going. For many, I know. they really enjoy the EV expert sales role and the reality is as good as it seems, it sounds like this isn’t how it is going for you. I’d love to find out more, please do reach out to me, I’d love to grab a coffee together and talk more. Ollie Boots Chief Commercial Office, Octopus EV
