I applied online. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Singapore) in Mar 2023
Interview
First round with hiring manager then second round case study. Both straight forward rounds. I have since not been contacted in over 2 months after following up repeatedly with the internal recruiter. For a senior hire I'd expect the courtesy of at least some feedback as to why I was not progressed.
