Pros

- Warm management who are receptive to suggestions; - Nearly exactly a 50/50 sex divide (unsure on split at various levels); - Lots of progression opportunities; - Employees come from diverse industry backgrounds adding to diversity of thought; - Fairly paid for median-level sustainability consulting professionals, unsure on senior mgmt; - Generally young, fairly social and easy to get along with colleagues fun; - Autonomy, and role ownership; - Hire smart graduates, but without university elitism or network cliquey-ness; - A highly communicative, and educating firm, with workshops, knowledge shares, and MS Teams messaging; and - Strong work-life balance.

Cons

- An SME operating with semi-autonomy within Atos, a very large, oftentimes unwieldy and bureaucratic multinational; - Lovely office, good location, but without office space perks; - Poor BAME representative/employment, but HR has discussed openly with the company and is working hard to improve this in 2023; and - It's not a climate political workplace. The climate crisis isn't wielded as a rallying call or motivating force, more an implicit need we must address through work and business.

Pros

Working at EcoAct has been very good in terms of my professional development within the industry. Immediately starting, you get really stuck in and get to take part in a lot of different types of projects. The London team are friendly and great to work with. Working environment is conducive for entry level work.

Cons

Salary is not in line with other consulting companies (lower than what is usually offered for London)

Pros

EcoAct is made up of talented and passionate people. It's a really envigorating environment to work in because people are always sharing knowledge and working on new things.

Cons

The new parent company purchased EcoAct because of its performance and success, then changed all the processes that led to that success. Work is so much more bureaucratic now with convoluted processes that aren't designed with a sustainability consultancy in mind and is much more about the bottom line than sustainability. The company culture has suffered as a result, become much more corporate.
