I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Octopus (London, England)
Interview
CV submission and quick telephone call with HR with standard questions about salary expectations and motivation. Face to face interview with hr and manager. Very important to be able to show that you will fit in the company culture. Passion is also very important. Overall it was a great experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Octopus (Melbourne) in Jan 2023
Interview
Was contacted for a behavioural interview. THere were many questions. The interviewer was friendly. I thought I did well in the interview. The interviewer told me they would get back to me within a week. I did not hear back from them for a month at which point they told me they decided that i was not the right fit. a month later, they said i had progressed to the next round if i was still interested. it was a shambles.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Octopus (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
Multiple interviews ranging from general to case study to psychometric. This was carried out over 4-6 stages and required meeting different members of the team. It was a helpful way to understand how they operated and more about the culture.
