Pros

The people are amazing here. It's like a job from my dreams. Companies are people and the people are helpful, kind, great communicators, forgiving, and professional all at once. I've never worked anywhere like it. The vibration of the company brings out the best in me. Recognition, promotion all within 12 months. You can move up as long as you have the desire. If you get a job here, there are so many other opportunities that come up for you if you're good, and ambitious. Ideas are treated seriously. There's just something about Octopus Energy..

Cons

I can't live here. If i could live here then my whole life would be amazing. Haha
