Pros

The work can be impactful

Cons

There is rampant racism and sexism in all the different data groups in Octopus from the top down. They are more open to hiring POC women but mostly to sexually harass us which is ignored by leadership. All the teams in the different divisions are mostly just white tech bros. Ethnic minorities are generally seen as lesser and anything said by them is usually negatively misconstrued. There are no POC Senior leaders anywhere in any of the leadership for data at all department or group level. It is generally a white tech bro haven. There is a faux cult like positivity which is rewarded when one choses to ignore reality

Hey there, thanks for sharing this feedback. This is not what I want for the team I lead, but also not something I recognise, and I care deeply about leading an inclusive team. I'd really appreciate the opportunity to learn more, and understand your perspective. Please reach out to me directly, for an open conversation. Thanks, Sam

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
