I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus Energy in May 2021
Interview
The interview process is split into multiple stages. The first stage is a video interview with a member of the recruitment team from Instant Impact this was quite informal and was more about why do you want to work for Octopus Energy and what skills could you bring to the role and your typical competency-based questions. If you are then successful to the next stage you are required to take a verbal and numeracy test.
For the final stage, you are then invited to a virtual 'Discovery Day', although you do need to do a lot of prep for this it really is worth it. The discovery day really gives you a chance to talk to multiple people already working for Octopus Energy and gives you a real insight into the company - as part of the day you have to take part in 2 team task's and then a one to one interview (again more like a casual chat to get to know you and why you want to work for octopus) followed by a group Q&A.

Friendly and engaging, The team at Octopus were extremely courteous and welcoming, 1st we had a one on one interview with a 3rd party (Who was just as friendly as supportive) then the group stage with Octopus themselves, It was pleasant seeing employees pop in for a hello and to wish us good luck, All candidates would give a claim to fame fact and some of the stories was absolutely amazing! We had a group task which we would all come together in groups which was great to get to know potential new team mates. Afterwards we had 1 on 1 interview and Q&A session which was super useful. We was then invited to a final interview.
