I applied online. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (London, England) in Sept 2024
Interview
I applied online and fairly quickly got a response inviting me to an interview. Standard corporate structure - first phone call chat. They encourage you to listen to podcasts with the CEO and other staff members to get a feel of the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was mostly a general chat - asked about my experience and salary expectations etc. The part I found most jarring for a company that tries to be more unique and not at all corporate was that I felt pushed to regurgitate the company values. It did feel like the interviewer was interested in learning about me beyond ticking that box.
Hiring manager called directly and asked to complete coding challenge (write python django mini app that collects numbers from machines)
I submitted within a week, then they told me they don't hire for now. So i don't know exact answer for that
