E Co. Reviews

Thank you for taking your time to share your concerns about your experience at E Co. We apologise for taking so long to respond. We understand that this was a challenging time as we were navigating significant organizational changes, and continue to do so as a growing and evolving organisation. Leadership Changes: As we transitioned from a single-owner structure to a senior management team, it was natural to incorporate expertise from both consulting and essential business areas; key skills in their own right and essential to ensure the smooth running of a larger organisation. Employee Departures: We understand and respect individuals who choose to leave if they feel they do not align with our new direction, values, career paths, or compensation structure. Compensation structure: Whilst we acknowledge that not every individual might be fully satisified with their compensation package, E Co. applies a competitive salary band structure and compensation package that is unilaterally applied and takes into account market dynamics, individual qualifications, skills and experience, and performance in their role. Where individuals feel their package does not reflect their worth, we welcome them to come and discuss these key aspects. Employee Value Proposition: Our core values remain unchanged since our founding. We prioritise hiring and supporting talented professionals who strive for personal and professional growth, embrace our vision, and deliver excellence while demonstrating empathy in their everyday interactions, all whilst contributing to the acheivements of a driven, diverse, connected and impactful team. Wellbeing and Work-Life Balance: We acknowledge that consulting work has its demands, but we actively promote work-life balance. We encourage employees to plan their time, utilise time off in lieu, and take breaks during quieter periods. Senior management advocates for this, teams monitor it, and line managers discuss it in weekly one-on-one conversations. At E Co. we place significant importance on feedback and the wellbeing of our employees and therefore welcome any suggestions for improvement both here, or through any of the internal mechanisms we have in place. Your feedback is essential to us as we strive to create a positive and supportive work environment. We acknowledge the difficulties experienced by our employees during this transition period and want to assure you that we continue to listen carefully to the experiences of our employees and to address all concerns raised. Should you wish to discuss any of the matters you have raised in more detail, please do come and talk to us directly.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the work "interesting" and your colleagues to be a highlight - we agree that our team is exceptional. You noted the introduction of a new management structure. As we transition from a boutique firm to a scaling organisation Driven to lead in the climate finance sector, evolving our structure is necessary. This evolution is about Delivering Excellence. As we take on larger, more complex mandates, we have invested in a leadership layer designed to ensure consistency, quality assurance, and strategic coherence across the organisation. While we understand that moving from a flat structure to a more matured hierarchy can feel like a shift in culture, it is a vital step in ensuring we can deliver reliably for our clients. We are committed to being Connected and transparent about our direction. In a high-stakes industry, leadership requires making difficult, objective decisions to mitigate risk and ensure the financial health of the company. We believe that true fairness is found in accountability. We strive to make decisions that protect the long-term viability of the organisation and the careers of those performing at a high level. While these decisions are not always easy or universally popular, they are made with the clear intent of sustaining a high-performance environment. We remain deeply committed to our core value of Empathy. To us, empathy means providing clear expectations and honest feedback, so our team knows exactly where they stand. We are building an organisation for professionals who value directness and are eager to grow within a robust, ambitious support structure. We wish you the very best in your next steps. We understand that dismissals can create resentment, but these decisions are made to protect the long-term viability of the organisation and our high-performance environment. We are open about our performance culture and welcome anyone in our application process to speak with our team to get a true sense of our environment and values.
