Pros

Users of gold working knowledgable people

Cons

Used my knowledge then let me go. They didn’t have a clue about renewables and then fired me once they’d got the knowledge they needed.

Hey there, Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. It is really useful in helping us understand when people don't have a good time at Octopus and how we can improve as a result. I'm sorry to hear about your experience, it clearly doesn’t sound great. Although not reflective of how the majority of people feel here, it is true of your time with us which is a huge shame. Letting people go is a last resort and normally when it just isn’t a right match, for the both of us. If you haven’t already spoken to someone about this in an exit interview, where you'd have a platform to bring this to light, please do feel free to reach out to me personally. My inbox is open. Wishing you all the best in your next endeavours. Lauren Palombo Talent Operations Lead lauren.palombo@octoenergy.com

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.
