Octopus Electric Vehicles reviews

The job you are sold at point of interview will be completely different to the job you actually do. Very cliquey, if you’re not in the ‘gang’ then you’re very left out. If you make a formal written complaint it will be ignored

Stifled progression: Internal promotion is discouraged for junior-level employees due to a policy that restricts any salary increase for the first six months in a new role. For commission-based salespeople, this often results in a significant pay cut. Financial barriers to mobility: Employees with lease cars may be barred from progressing due to risks of falling below minimum wage. No transparent internal hiring process: Discussion of salary during internal interviews is not permitted, and roles have been retracted if this is brought up — creating inequity and reducing upward mobility for financially constrained team members. Lack of HR support: No dedicated HR team and a frequently unavailable Chief of Staff. Leadership churn and absenteeism: High turnover and long absences among senior and middle managers have impacted team morale and continuity (x 3 heads of sales in 18 months). Internal recruitment bottlenecks: Internal candidates are often deprioritised or ignored by the recruitment team.
