OVO Energy FAQ

You can work from home.

Terrible management. No room for progression. Bonuses are non existent these days. No empathy for personal issues. Corporate. Haven't got a clue what they are doing. Money hungry. Not very culturally diverse. Mentally draining. Very repetitive & heavily stats based. Limited support/learning development. Not paid enough to do the job we do.

Listen to your staff!

Work/life balance is good, working time is very flexible. Free breakfast and free lunch every Friday. Flex fund of 4% your annual salary to spend in a lot of useful perks.

There's a big lack of communication between different teams in the company. They change the structure of the company almost every year, and usually always for the worse. There's no coordination and management is a joke, in part because instead of promoting capable people, they promote friends instead. There's no career progression here, unless you make yourself friends with key people from the beginning. Salaries are way below the market, comparing to other companies in London. There's no pride on the work that is delivered, it works on a "as long as it works, I don't care if it looks terrible" basis. Also, it's a bit suspicious that you almost don't see anyone that isn't british with head of department or director roles in this company. Go figure.

Improve your career progression method, stop allowing the "boys club" environment. It's unprofessional and borderline illegal. Review salaries to match the market in London, this isn't Bristol and the cost of life is way higher here.
