Pros

I was blown away with the level of professionalism and how welcomed the team made me feel, Scott has been great all the way through. The company clearly values their workforce and does the most to show this. I can not recommend octopus enough. I feel I will be very happy working at octopus.

Cons

No downsides as of yet, perhaps no option for a loyalty scheme with workers utility bills or cost of installing octopus products at workers homes, ie heat pumps, solar ect.
