Pros

- Great culture: everyone is very helpful and professional, and people know their stuff. - Great benefits: work-from-home, equity grant, "unlimited holiday" (within reason) - Work that makes a difference: We all use electricity and Octopus is trying to make it greener, more affordable and a better overall experience.

Cons

- Average pay range - Very fast growing - everything changes quickly - A lot of the business is organised in the UK (about 10 hour time-difference), making communications a bit slow sometimes

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.
