Global Octopus Employee Benefits
Octopus Energy is a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground. We want your hard work to be rewarded with benefits you actually care about!
What do you get?
Equity Option Scheme
Everyone owns part of what we’re building with shares.
When you become an Octopus Energy Group employee, you will be included in our Equity Options Scheme. This means that you own your own part of the business, so when the business grows, you can reap the rewards!
It's just another motivation for us to work together towards success.
Holidays
We're all grown ups, so we don't count your holidays here. We work hard and so we know you need to play hard as well (within reason of course).
Flexible working
We're passionate about a genuine work-life balance here and we don't pay people to watch a clock. Need to catch that school nativity or work from home? That's cool.
We are proud to say we were voted in the top 5 companies in the UK for work life balance in 2020, we treat you as a human, and do our best to make work and life merge smoothly together.
Free Breakfast + other stuff
Our offices are stocked with fruit, breakfast, great coffee, and soft drinks (and ice lollies if you're lucky)!
Weekly on a Friday we all get together (this happens virtually too) for company updates and drinks - we call it Family Dinner.
We won best company to work for in 2019 and our CEO, Greg has recorded a podcast about our culture and how we empower our people. Check out what our people say at Glassdoor!
Tech
We want to get the best out of our people and get that everyone is slightly different. Have a certain tech requirement? We’ll do our best to get it.
For Parents
We have a generous parental leave policy:
- Maternity leave: 16 weeks full pay + 8 weeks half pay + 15 weeks statutory maternity pay
- Paternity leave: 12 weeks full pay
Parents can also enjoy the convenience and savings of our Workplace Nursery Benefit scheme! Access tax-free childcare and significant savings on nursery fees. It’s a smart, efficient way to balance work and family life.
The proof is in the pudding
We take pride in our people and building the kind of work environment our employees are excited to be a part of.
We won best utility company to work for in 2022 (top 3 overall), on Glassdoor we were voted in the top 30 best places to work in 2022 and we made the Sunday Times best places to work in 2024.
