Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookI have been working at OVO Energy full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Spend a lot of time on the road so still retain a certain amount of autonomy. Dealing with customers who are almost always great and understand the short comings of the technology we use.
Cons
Only “big 6” company to not pay 100% furlough, Managers are all yes men who have no idea how to do the job. Company are already committed to reducing our terms and conditions.

Hello there, It's great to hear you have a great relationship with our customers and enjoy the autonomy of your role. We did have to furlough a number of our employees due to the restrictions of COVID19. The government furlough scheme covers 80% of salaries to be paid, up to a maximum of £2500. At OVO, we made the decision to cover 80% of salary without any cap, and covered the extra cost above the support the government had put in place. We appreciate this is a very hard time for everyone right now and if you have any suggestions of how better we can support, please do feed this back to your HR Business Partner. Thanks

Pros
- Plan Zero mission is very motivating, it's rewarding to know the work that you do is contributing to a net zero carbon world - Not your typical energy company, very fast paced and agile, more like a tech business - Autonomous working - your manager is more like a coach, you can do what you think is best and ask for support if required - Really bright, innovative team - Have a clear personal development plan to take my career to the next level
Cons
- There's so much going on at once, there's a chance you could be overwhelmed, but I really enjoy the challenge and try my best to prioritise work

Pros
OVO has a great mission (Plan Zero) and a really inclusive culture. The people I work with are collaborative, kind, forward thinking and supportive. The fact that we have moved to flexible, choice-based working permanently has meant that I have a great work / life balance. The work is interesting and we are given the freedom to decide how we reach our goals. OVO moves at a fast pace and is constantly striving to find a better way, so there are always new and innovative projects to work on.
Cons
Change is a constant here and won't be for everyone but in my opinion this is a plus as no day is the same!

Working with great new tech, very friendly colleagues, people generally fun and helpful. Lots of internal communities.
