Pros

Example of british excellence, one of the few unicorns in the UK, great Python/Django expertise across engineering teams

Cons

Pay could be more transparent and inline with similar sized/performing tech companies (or offset this with better benefits) Can be chaotic, especially when intersecting with Octopus Energy and/or clients (internal/external) DEI efforts and female only initiatives may hurt the company in the long run
