Pros

- Very friendly and supportive team who want to help you learn and develop - You are given a lot of freedom and autonomy - Flexible working conditions, you are trusted to get on with your job and not micro-managed - The London office is lovely and really comfortable with nice snacks and fresh fruit - It's great to be working somewhere with such an important mission. There is a really fun and positive atmosphere as the company and wider Octopus Energy Group is driving innovation in the energy space and is involved in loads of exciting projects.

Cons

- No private healthcare or dental which is pretty standard for similar sized tech companies - Lack of transparency around salary and benefits - this can disadvantage groups who have been traditionally under-represented and under-paid in tech
