Pros

Fortnightly massages, Friday work drinks, bonuses / incentives, random treats, dinners etc. positive work environment where you are encouraged to give honest feedback - this also means lot of meetings though.

Cons

After a year I started to feel a little bored of sending repetitive emails, but there is an unlimited amount of stuff to learn so you will never be like “I know everything”. They’re weird about working from home like generally you can only work from home one day a week and they would prefer that it’s on a Tuesday or Thursday despite advertising “work life flexibility”. Generally they are understanding about it though. Okay pay I’ve been here a year and four months and on over 60k

Pros

1. Unmatched Career Growth Octopus Energy genuinely invests in its people. I’ve progressed from an Energy Specialist to a Team Leader, thanks to clear pathways for growth, leadership programs, and a supportive environment that helps you thrive. 2. Global Collaboration Working with teams across New Zealand, the UK, and South Africa has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my role. The opportunity to engage with diverse cultures and perspectives has enriched my professional experience and made me feel part of a global family. 3. Meaningful, Purpose-Driven Work Octopus Energy isn’t just another company—it’s part of a movement. Being involved in sustainability initiatives and helping customers transition to greener energy solutions gives you a real sense of purpose. 4. Supportive and Inclusive Culture The culture here is incredible. It’s collaborative, inclusive, and genuinely supportive. Whether it’s through open discussions, mentoring, or team-building initiatives, you always feel valued and heard. 5. Room for Innovation Octopus Energy empowers its employees to think outside the box. I’ve had the chance to create impactful initiatives, like a Trustpilot escalation training program and customer experience campaigns, which have been incredibly rewarding.

Cons

I personally do not think there are any, however if you're not passionate, you might not get the most out of all it has to offer!
