Octopus Energy reviews

Good team, atmosphere is nice

I love my job at Octopus. I've never had a job where I feel so empowered to go out and do whatever idea pops into my head while surrounded by a team of insanely talented people helping to make it happen. It's unlike any company I've worked for before there's not the "you're lucky to have a job mentality" and you're basically given free reign to do what makes you excited and given all the tools you need to do more of it. It's definitely a move fast, break things, ignore perfection for the sake of iteration environment. You don't have the red tape that can occur in most marketing departments and it's just such a place of "go go go" and not "well let's have a meeting and put a plan in place." Planning and perfection is against the "Octopus" way and I honestly love it so much because it gives you freedom. You're treated like an adult here and not micromanaged to death. As a working mom I love it because my life can be chaotic yet I don't feel punished at work for being late, leaving early, sick kids, etc. The environment is fun and people genuinely care of how YOU as a human are doing and you're not just another "busy bee worker." It's a performance driven enviornment you're given a lot of trust and freedom to do your job but you're also held to high performance standards. So that can be intense for some but I thrive in it so it's been fine for me.
