Pros

I am currently applying to Octopus (so cheeky to leave a review but I do feel like excellent businesses deserve it) and so far it has all been a positive and pleasant experience. From the get go they have been very clearly in their desired applicant, their goals as a business and what the benchmark for success looks like in the business. They've also been amazingly flexible with availability to talk and have been personable and overall a breathe of fresh air in the current climate. Ronnie in recruitment has particularly been an absolute champion ambassador so far too - if Octopus is overall like him, you have an absolute winner of a brand and business!

Cons

None that I have encountered so far

Supportive environment to help achieve with ongoing training & access to what you want to develop, everything is transparent, clear & goals are set clearly achievable. With this current energy crisis there is no other company I’d want to work for

Pros

The people are so welcoming no matter where you are in the business. It’s like nothing is too much to ask and I’ve never felt more welcome. The field team are exceptional, they really care about the company, brand and customers.

Cons

I haven’t found any cons yet. The work load and expectation is high but because everyone is a shareholder you WANT to put that extra effort in.
