In total there were 4 touch points regarding the vacancy - initially I was contacted by a recruiter about the position and my details were passed to the hiring manager. Just over a week later the hiring manager made contact, we had a conversation about the vacancy and my interest in the role after which I was invited to an on-line interview the following week. The on-line interview was with the hiring manager and a member of the wider team, after a couple of days the hiring manager called and invited me to a face to face interview in Slough which took place the next week.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
First an informal phone interview with talent aquistion, followed by a video interview with the director. An in-person interview with 2 team members in the office and then a final
video interview with a peer operations manager.
The interviewer was nice however it was a bit generic. Also, they did not leave time for any of my questions which was frustrating. They asked normal competency style questions so nothing unexpected.
