I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Brighton, England) in Feb 2022
Interview
Very streamlined interview process and the whole thing took less than 2 weeks from start to finish to complete.
I had Egle Barkauskaite who had given me guidance throughout the process and helped me prepare for the questions and for each of the steps which turned out to be extremely important.
Once I had my initial interview with Egle, I was given a discovery day to attend to. This was a group activity day which looked at your ability to work in a team and thought process, followed by a 1 to 1 interview with an employee from Octopus.
After completing that, I was offered a final interview at an Octopus office which again was a very nice interview, one of the best I've had from previous applications.
All in all a very fun experience from start to finish with help provided throughout the process.
