Pros

- It seems that everyone is bought into the Octopus vision and wants to make a different to the planet - There are some incredibly bright people here and the people I'm working with are really helpful and have given a lot of time to helping me understand the product - I've been given some massive customers to manage, so it's great to feel that confidence in me from my manager - Small things like free food, free hygiene products in the toilets, staff classes (yoga, painting etc.) and free Friday beer show that the company cares about its employees - The technology used here really is on another level to the competition, particularly Kraken - Friday Family Dinners (basically an all-company meeting on Fridays at 4pm) are always well attended, informative and generally very funny, as Greg likes to have a laugh and put people at ease - The offices are great and a lot of people work from them

Cons

- It's very minor, but as a non-technical person working in a tech company, the induction was a bit dev-heavy in parts (and therefore well over my head), but I passed on that feedback, so that may change in future.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It's great to hear that you've experienced the supportive culture and no-blame mindset that we work hard to build at Kraken. Creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported and empowered to learn is incredibly important to us. We're also aware that there’s always room to improve. We're growing rapidly to meet increasing demand from our customers, and with that growth comes change, complexity and, at times, growing pains. While that can occasionally feel chaotic, we're committed to learning, adapting and improving as we scale. Developing exceptional leaders is also a key focus for us. We're investing in this through initiatives like our Leadership Development Programme (LDP), which helps managers build the skills, confidence and self-awareness needed to support their teams. As a business, we're learning together and continuously evolving how we lead, communicate and collaborate. If you'd like to discuss your experience in more detail, please feel free to reach out directly, share feedback through Officevibe, or use Your Voice in HiBob. Thanks again for your review and for helping us get better. Best, Susanna

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really glad to hear you found the people at Kraken supportive and that you valued the autonomy in how you work; that’s something we aim to protect as we grow. On pay, we work hard to ensure our salaries are fair and competitive. We don’t aim to be at the very top or bottom of the market, but instead offer a balanced package that reflects our values, business model, and long-term sustainability. We also know that clear progression and consistent feedback are important. While growing quickly can sometimes mean changes in structure or management, we’re working on improving continuity - including through our leadership development programme, which many of our managers have completed or are currently taking part in. If you'd be open to chatting further or sharing more detail about your experience, I’d really welcome the conversation. Thanks again, Olivia Roberts olivia.roberts@kraken.tech
