Pros

In theory all of the right elements to make a good company but poorly executed. Some good colleagues.

Cons

From working for EECO2 to hearing their reputation in industry, the reason that EECO2 are not winning certain contracts is that key people in industry do not trust the company because of its reputation and, where possible, are choosing to opt for other companies instead. The high staff turnover also unsettles clients, who cannot be sure of consistency of service. I attribute the high staff turnover to the management style within the office. To the best of my knowledge, around half of those that I worked with closely at EECO2 have left the company, both staff and contractors.

Response from EECO2 Management Thank you for your feedback, and for the recognition of the colleagues you worked alongside. We must, however, directly address the claim that industry clients do not trust EECO2 and are actively choosing competitors over us. This is factually inaccurate, and we feel it would be misleading to allow it to go unchallenged. The reality is that a significant proportion of our business comes from repeat clients — several of whom have worked with us continuously for over 15 years. That level of sustained, long-term engagement is not consistent with a company whose reputation is causing clients to look elsewhere. Client retention of this nature is earned through consistent delivery, technical credibility, and trusted relationships — and it is something we can evidence. It is worth noting that this characterisation appears to be drawn from impressions formed during a period of employment of less than one year. We would gently suggest that the view of a company's full client relationship landscape is rarely visible from that vantage point, particularly within a short tenure. On the broader points around staff turnover and management: we take workforce matters seriously and continuously review how we support and develop our people. Feedback from both current and former employees informs that process. However, we would distinguish between constructive observations and unsubstantiated generalisations presented as industry fact. We remain focused on delivering measurable value for our clients — as our track record of long-standing relationships clearly demonstrates.

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."
