Pros

Octopus is driven by impact, working for a mission led business is motivating. I've progressed well over my time here, when I've done great work the recognition and rewards have come. When I've made mistakes or work hasn't been to the right level I've had additional training and upskilling. Huge emphasis on the culture of the business and hiring people who add value to that, which means I work with great people. In all my time here I've never dreaded coming into work. Fast paced and entrepreneurial.

Cons

The flip side to the entrepreneurial culture is there's a lot of ambiguity and change of direction, at pace. For those that prefer structured, process driven environments this probably wouldn't be the place to work.
