Two separate interview days seeing 4 different members of the Octopus Property Team. I was told they would get back to me after a day or two. I didn't hear back at all even after chasing the HR department twice. I found the lack of communication absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend applying.
Thanks for your review. We’re very sorry about the lack of communication on our part. You’re absolutely right, this is not an acceptable way to treat applicants and we’ll be urgently reviewing our recruitment processes to ensure that it doesn’t happen to future applicants.
We hope that you enjoyed spending time with the Octopus Property Team and wish you all the best for the future.
Other Business Development Manager interview reviews for Octopus
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
straight forward interviews with different managers - questions regarding experience and also why the role, why octopus, role play scenarios. called back for another interview, similar style questions with different manager. Smooth process and great offices.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied online but didn't hear anything for two weeks, so called to chase, was told a colleague would call me later in the week. 1/2 weeks later they called me and we had a 15 minute chat.
Following this was told I was to be moved on to next stage of the process.
Got an email 2 weeks addressed to the wrong name to ask if I'd be interested in moving to the next stage of interview process, having responded in the affirmative, (I figured it was an easy mistake to make), then heard nothing for 3 weeks before a generic rejection letter but frankly by this point of I'd lost interest in any roles with them.
Would not recommend based on this experience.
