Pros

I've worked as a software engineer for companies of all scales and various sectors over the past decade or so, but I've finally found my perfect role. Octopus Energy is one of those rare places where the culture is phenomenal, it genuinely cares about its customers, its employees and indeed the global climate crisis. I've had no trouble fitting my work around my busy life as a parent and have been fully supported by my management team and peers.

Cons

I'm 7 months into the role and so far not a single bad thing to say about working for Octopus

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
