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."

Pros

The staff themselves are genuinely wonderful — supportive, collaborative, and culturally diverse. Employees look out for each other, embrace one another’s backgrounds, and create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere despite the pressure from above. Colleagues work well as a team, often going above and beyond to compensate for leadership shortcomings.

Cons

Poor leadership, unethical practices, delayed pay, bullying, lack of equality and accountability. Working at EECO2 has been one of the most disheartening professional experiences I have had. The company’s margins are kept excessively high, seemingly to fund questionable executive spending rather than to benefit staff or reinvest in the business. Equality and fairness are absent, and there’s a noticeable tolerance of sexism and favouritism within senior management. Leadership is diabolically poor — characterised by micromanagement, bullying, and a culture of fear. The Director of New Business appears to operate without accountability, and employees who raise concerns are often ignored or silenced. Pay is frequently delayed, and those who leave the company face substantial and often unjustified deductions from their final salary. One recent leaver even had to wait over a week to receive their final wages and it is almost like a punishment for leaving. Overall, EECO2 suffers from systemic leadership and ethical issues. Until there is major change at the top, I would strongly advise others to think carefully before joining.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all reviews seriously and welcome the opportunity to respond. We are genuinely pleased to hear that you value your colleagues — building a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive team is something we are proud of and committed to maintaining. We are, however, concerned by a number of the allegations raised. EECO2 has clear policies on equality, anti-bullying, and fair treatment in the workplace, and we do not recognise the culture described. We would strongly encourage anyone who has experienced or witnessed inappropriate behaviour to raise it formally through our internal channels, where it will be taken seriously and investigated appropriately. Regarding payroll, we are required to ensure all final salary calculations are accurate and contractually compliant. Any deductions made upon departure are in accordance with the terms of employment and are communicated to the individual concerned. We understand that the end of an employment relationship can be a difficult time, and we aim to handle these matters as clearly and fairly as possible. On leadership and accountability — we continually work to develop our management team and foster a culture of transparency and trust. We recognise that no organisation is without room for improvement, and we take structured feedback as an opportunity to reflect and grow. If you would like to discuss any of your concerns directly, we would encourage you to contact us through the appropriate HR channels. We remain committed to EECO2 being a place where people are treated with fairness, respect, and professionalism. The EECO2 Management Team
