Pros
Free snacks, free drinks, free doughnuts occasionally, pool table and down stairs offices for extra curricular activities ;) Not having to hate a single manager for long.
Cons
Where do I even start? Employee retention at Ekco is as low as the bar for getting hired in the first place. The senior leadership is basically just profile pictures on Teams, executive who have no clue about the departments they’re making big decisions for. And job security? Pretty much nonexistent, especially if you’re a team leader or above. Good luck keeping your job. In less than a year there, I had five different line managers. Being an FCR engineer was exhausting and really high-pressure. Burnout felt almost encouraged by senior management. It’s a shame - I actually really enjoyed the job when I had a decent manager running a good team. Con honorable mention: - The extortionate parking - The toilet cleanliness - Staff hygiene - The call that never work boards - Low salaries - Low morale But overall, the workplace has turned into this stressful, unenjoyable environment where the workload is massive and staff retention is rock bottom. If you are thinking of joining as an FCR, please do your self a favor and find another job. Homelessness is a viable option vs this job.
