Business Outlook

Pros

- Wonderful colleagues who create a brilliant culture - Octopus Energy genuinely puts the wellbeing of their customers and staff at the heart of everything they do - Progression is not always linear meaning lots of opportunities for growth and Octopus always looks to promote from within - Super flexible when staff need time off, whether that's annual leave, late starts or early finishes

Cons

- Working in Operations can be very demanding at the moment (but extremely rewarding) due to the current nature of the energy industry - A lot of resilience required to be able to deal with increased amount of customers in difficult circumstances and the increased inbound contact this is causing

Pros

- You will actually be saving the planet - You get what you give - plenty of opportunity if you are ready to kick some ***. Room to air your crazy ideas for how to make the energy system better - Great office space - Colleagues who genuinely care about the cause and each other - Every day is different

Cons

Not particularly cons, but important to be aware of to know if this place is for you: - Information is not served on a plate, you have to seek it out. No org charts or news letters, a lot of word of mouth. - Your work life will not be structured - chaotic start up vibe is strong - Things change suuuuper quick. You may not end up doing the job you were hired for
