What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Octus?
Octus Employee Perspectives
Octus employees describe a workplace where personal well-being can take priority alongside getting the work done. During a period of major disruption, the company adapted quickly to remote work, while colleagues made a point of checking in on one another personally before turning to business, reflecting a culture of empathy and support.
“On my first day in the office, everyone from our CEO to the commercial team members welcomed me. From the start, they were ready and willing to help me.
Less than two months later, the Covid-19 pandemic hit and we pivoted quickly to working from home. Even during the most trying times, every conversation with my colleagues started with a simple ‘How are you doing?’ This came before starting any agenda, which speaks to the caliber of person that [Octus, formerly Reorg] brings to its teams.”
