Thank you for sharing your experience with Octopus Energy and your feedback. I’m sorry to hear your time with us was not enjoyable. We really value constructive feedback and know we cannot continue to grow and improve without this. I would love to hear more from you on what you did not find enjoyable so we can hopefully address these. We understand how important proper rest and time off is for our team to look after themselves and ensure they can be their best at work, which is why we have made sure we have a flexible holiday policy where additional holiday can be taken without having to purchase any extra days. Please do reach out to me at my email address if you feel comfortable! Kind regards, Inés Amorelli Head of Operations

Hello there, Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback. I'm really sorry that this was your experience with us. I can see that you enjoyed our office vibe and culture which is great to see, but I'm disappointed that you didn't feel supported, especially in terms of your mental health. From your review I can see that you're a former employee, but I would still like to have a chat with you about your experience if you were up for that so that we can learn from this for future. Please do reach out to me on email if you're willing to share more about your experience (lynne.higgins@octoenergy.com). Lynne Higgins Head of Operations Octopus Energy

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. While we're sorry you didn't have a good experience, we know your experience isn't representative of the vast majority of our team. The last couple of years have been particularly difficult for our customers with the cost of living crisis. We see it as being our responsibility to help and support them as best as we can even though this can be tough at times. To support team members who need it after difficult customer calls or emails, we have the listening ear programme across all of Ops as well as a number of specific wellbeing initiatives within sites. We hope you were able to make use of these resources. In terms of our managers, we run pre-emptive development programmes for potential leaders as well as having in place thorough recruitment processes to ensure we have the best people moving into leadership roles. We’re sorry if the experience you had with your leader was not as positive as other experiences we see and hear about and hope you were able to offer more specific feedback before you left the business as it’s important to us that our teams feel supported. Thanks again for your feedback. Erin Bullions Head of Operations Octopus Energy
