Pros

You will meet good people here — smart, capable, hardworking. The kind of folks who show up every day trying to make things work despite the conditions. They deserve a better environment than the one they are given.

Kontras

What I learned at this company is pretty simple: when leadership stops paying attention to reality, reality eventually catches up. Clients in the industry talk, and the picture they paint is consistent. Many avoid working with this company because they have lost confidence in its stability. High staff turnover only reinforces that concern — when familiar faces disappear every few months, clients take their business somewhere steadier. From what I experienced, that turnover has a clear cause. Decisions are made far from the people doing the actual work, and communication only seems to travel in one direction. Promises about roles, bonuses, and progression sound good at the start, but they rarely materialise in practice. Pay can be delayed, deductions are not explained upfront, and contractors operate without the basic clarity they need. It all adds up to an environment where trust erodes quickly. There is also a noticeable gap between the image the company projects and what happens internally. A lot of effort goes into outward displays of success, yet the fundamentals — transparent leadership, reliable operations, fair workloads — do not receive the same attention. HR feels more like a shield for management than a resource for employees, and concerns often vanish without resolution. When the people doing the work consistently feel unheard, the results are predictable: burnout, frustration, and a steady flow of departures. It is not complicated. If you give people fifty tasks and only the resources for twenty, you cannot be surprised when things start to crack.

Thank you for this. It's a more considered review than most, and it deserves a considered reply rather than a defensive one. We'll start with where we agree, because there is genuine common ground. The observation that capable, committed people are sometimes asked to carry more than the resources reasonably allow is fair, and we won't wave it away. Where that has happened, the honest answer is that planning and resourcing needed to be better. Communication, too, has at times run more in one direction than it should. These are real, and they are the things we are actually working on — not the parts we'd dispute. Where we see it differently is on the claims that go to the heart of the business. The idea that clients are quietly losing confidence and drifting away doesn't match our experience: our relationships are, for the most part, long-standing and expanding, which is not where a company ends up if its market has genuinely stopped trusting it. Some movement of staff is simply the nature of specialist consultancy — though we take the point that, internally, the reasons people move on aren't always made as visible as they could be. On pay, we want to be precise rather than dismissive. We're not aware of salaried staff being paid late, and the means to query anything on a payslip exists and is used. Deductions are the standard statutory and contractual ones, set out in the paperwork people receive — and if any of those have ever felt unclear, that's a conversation we would far rather have directly than leave to assumption. Contractors are engaged on different terms by their nature, and some of the lack of clarity described may reflect that distinction rather than a failure on our part. On HR, we'd respectfully push back on the notion that it exists only to shield management. The formal routes are there to be used, and concerns raised through them are recorded and followed up. Where someone feels a concern simply "vanished," we'd genuinely want to know why, because that isn't how it's meant to work. The broader message — that a business can't run on promises or on turnover indefinitely — isn't one we actually disagree with. It's sound advice. The fairest thing we can say in reply is that we'd much rather hear it directly, while there's still room to act on it, than read it here once the decision to leave has already been made. And to the colleagues this reviewer rightly praises: we agree entirely. We are listening — perhaps a little more than this review allows. The EECO2 Management Team

Pros

The company is industry leading in sustainability within the Life sciences sector, and we get to work with the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, making a real difference to the planet. This is highly motivating, and as a result, the team are always working on interesting stuff with clients from all over the world. The company has shown that hard work and dedication are rewarded with career progression and opportunities to develop, as my own experience joining as a Junior Engineer and now leading the engineering team. A great work-life balance is promoted, and although weekend travel is sometimes required, it is neither unusual nor unique to this company; it also comes with its perks of seeing some amazing places. The working environment is friendly and diverse, and everyone is encouraged to contribute. Any request by management is never unfair or unreasonable, and it is not expected to be overloaded in your day to day job. If people get busy the team are always there to help each other. Management is also very willing to listen to employees' ideas and concerns. Overall, great company to work for.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review — and for your continued commitment to EECO2 over the past five to seven years. Feedback like this, particularly from those who have grown with the business, means a great deal. It is genuinely rewarding to hear that the work we do across the life sciences sector continues to feel meaningful and motivating. The scale of impact — helping some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies operate more sustainably — is something we never take for granted, and it is our people's belief in that mission that drives the quality of our work. Your own journey from Junior Engineer to leading the engineering team reflects exactly the kind of culture we aspire to build: one where ability and dedication are recognised and rewarded through real opportunity. That progression does not happen by accident — it comes from the effort and expertise you and colleagues like you bring every day. We also appreciate your honest acknowledgement of the occasional demands of the role, such as weekend travel. Your perspective — that it comes with its own rewards — reflects a maturity we see across the team, and we will continue to ensure those commitments remain proportionate and well-supported. Your comments on collaboration, mutual respect, and management openness speak to values we work hard to uphold. We recognise there is always room to improve, and feedback like yours helps ensure we remain focused on what matters most to the people who make EECO2 what it is. Thank you again — we look forward to continuing this work together

Pros

Sometimes good people and if you're early enough and some pizza ordered by employees. Is it a pro, I don't know more like asking someone what they miss about having stage 4 cancer and they say the hospital food.

Kontras

I used to love to go to site visits, until on the first one that I waited for almost my entire time I was there they booked me a train with close to 20kg in equipments and sent me blind at night after months in planning. The pseudo care higher management shows at town house meetings mentioning us as a family is an insult to real families, like the hospital food I mentioned previously, just enough words to make you feel like you're fine and then back to making you feel like this work is not enough no matter what you do. Try asking them for a favour back that has no benefit to PM and you'll see the real colours. Even more visible during the exit interview after they fired without any warning close to 8 people and it was evident toxicity is what fuels these decisions and the willingness to make your 'family' suffer. It all starts with a never been better, how bout you ? Stay away, eat some chicken tikka, enjoy life.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We acknowledge this reflects a difficult experience, and we are sorry it ended on those terms. On the travel point specifically — the logistics of that particular site visit were managed by a project coordination function that has since been restructured, and we recognise that support for field preparation fell short on that occasion. We do take the wellbeing of our team seriously, and while we appreciate the candour, some of the characterisations here don't reflect the working environment we strive to maintain. If there are specific concerns you'd like to raise through a more formal channel, that route remains open to you. We wish you well in your next role."
