Vantaggi

- Talented and passionate colleagues who genuinely care about you and delivering great outcomes together. - Innovative culture that (still) encourages radical thinking and challenges the status quo. - Opportunities to take ownership and grow quickly if you’re proactive. - Exciting projects with high visibility in the energy/tech space.

Svantaggi

- Cultural drift is setting in as the senior leadership layer expands with new or existing people, where some are not embodying the values that once defined the company and was the key for its success. - Client projects are launched with big ambitions but without enough attention to laying solid foundations. The culture is that teams are expected to step up, which can be empowering. But when structural gaps, whether on Kraken's or the client's side, are left unaddressed, teams fall into endless cycles of chasing down issues and explaining to internal stakeholders why they’re happening, rather than actually making progress. - Career progression can feel inconsistent; luck, timing, connections, and even location sometimes matter more than contribution, fit or skill.

Vantaggi

Newhire here, extremely glad to have landed at Kraken. The company is genuinely driven by a desire to deliver the transition to a sustainable energy future. Does an amazing job of making employees genuinely empowered and accountable, in a blameless and humane setting, which gives people the authority to make themselves productive. Normally I'd consider that to be a Silicon Valley thing, but here at Kraken this has a bit of a British spin on it, being the company's history derives from the UK's Octopus Energy. The resulting mix slices through corporate politics with real talk and joviality. I just got out of one genuinely hilarious and inspirational optional all-hands which left others commenting "OMG It's my first week, does this happen every Friday???" In my department, clients (such as electrical utilities) love the way we're revolutionizing their businesses, including the way they treat their call center staff, humanizing them to become wide-ranging, informed and empowered problem solvers on behalf of their customers, instead of helpless automatons following scripts. Elsewhere, Kraken has tentacles in all kinds of sustainable tech, from sustainable generation, huge demand-flattening battery installations, domestic EV chargers, and smart meters. Business is booming, growth is spectacular, and huge markets still exist for the taking...

Svantaggi

I'm a programmer. We have a big codebase. There is some tech debt. But show me a 2,000 person high growth company for which that isn't true. Everyone has a very sane attitude towards it. Not a biggie.
