      Pros

      There is free parking available outside the office

      Cons

      EECO2 sells an image of sustainability and professionalism, but working there feels like being trapped in a place that’s forgotten what real leadership and respect look like. The CEO surrounds himself with his family, friends and runs the business like a private club. Those within the circle get all the perks; the rest work twice as hard for half the credit. He flies business class while everyone else squeezes into economy for long-haul flights, and somehow there's always budget left for his growing fleet of luxury cars and company-paid houses. While most staff are counting pennies waiting for delayed expenses, the top floor is polishing leather. Even the physical office mirrors the leadership—stale, cramped, and lifeless. The air feels heavy, the layout is chaotic, and the atmosphere is more like an old backstreet pub that’s lost its charm than a modern workspace. It’s a depressing space that drains energy rather than fueling creativity. You can feel the mismatch between the company’s glossy sustainability talk and the neglected reality you walk into every morning. Favoritism runs deep. Racism and misogyny linger just beneath the surface, tolerated by leadership who would rather protect their family and friends than confront the obvious. Hardworking people are ignored or burned out while mediocrity at the top thrives. HR is there to sanitise problems, not solve them. The result is a workplace so fragmented that even clients sense the dysfunction. The staff turnover speaks for itself—great people leave because integrity and fairness aren’t valued here. What’s left is a skeleton crew trying to keep up appearances while leadership hides behind slogans and self-congratulation.

      Thank you for sharing this feedback. All reviews matter to us, and if you are a current employee with genuine concerns, we would sincerely encourage you to reach out directly. You will be listened to, in confidence and without any prejudice. We do, however, need to address a number of points that do not reflect the business as it actually operates. On leadership and family involvement — one family member is employed, on merit, in a standard role. That is the full extent of it. On travel — the CEO actually flies economy more often than most staff. Business Class, where used, is always client-funded, and there is an openly communicated internal incentive to reduce travel class on shorter legs to improve project performance. The characterisation here is the reverse of reality. On remuneration and expenses — salaries are benchmarked annually against the CIBSE/Hays Salary Survey. Bonus and salary structures are published. All travelling staff hold company credit cards, and expenses are processed through that system. On the office — it is air-conditioned with fresh air ventilation throughout. It is a functional rather than showy space, but the description offered here is genuinely unrecognisable. On the allegations of racism and misogyny, we take these seriously. The business is culturally diverse, and such behaviour is not tolerated. If specific incidents have occurred, we would strongly encourage those involved to raise them formally so they can be properly addressed. We recognise that some frustrations expressed here may be genuine, and we are sorry if any individual has felt undervalued. The door remains open.

      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.

      Cons

      No company is perfect, but EECO2 are always working on things behind the scenes to improve. Being hard working, professional and friendly will get your far.

      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.

      Cons

      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."
