Pros

To quote Conway's law: "Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure." Octopus Energy produces amazing software which is a reflection of how good the company culture is. Great code, great coworkers, great managers.

Cons

Company is growing very fast - which isn't really a con but I really hope it keeps its shape and vision.

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.
