Desventajas

EECO2 sells an image of sustainability and professionalism, but working there feels like being trapped in a place that’s forgotten what real leadership and respect look like. The CEO surrounds himself with his family, friends and runs the business like a private club. Those within the circle get all the perks; the rest work twice as hard for half the credit. He flies business class while everyone else squeezes into economy for long-haul flights, and somehow there's always budget left for his growing fleet of luxury cars and company-paid houses. While most staff are counting pennies waiting for delayed expenses, the top floor is polishing leather. Even the physical office mirrors the leadership—stale, cramped, and lifeless. The air feels heavy, the layout is chaotic, and the atmosphere is more like an old backstreet pub that’s lost its charm than a modern workspace. It’s a depressing space that drains energy rather than fueling creativity. You can feel the mismatch between the company’s glossy sustainability talk and the neglected reality you walk into every morning. Favoritism runs deep. Racism and misogyny linger just beneath the surface, tolerated by leadership who would rather protect their family and friends than confront the obvious. Hardworking people are ignored or burned out while mediocrity at the top thrives. HR is there to sanitise problems, not solve them. The result is a workplace so fragmented that even clients sense the dysfunction. The staff turnover speaks for itself—great people leave because integrity and fairness aren’t valued here. What’s left is a skeleton crew trying to keep up appearances while leadership hides behind slogans and self-congratulation.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. All reviews matter to us, and if you are a current employee with genuine concerns, we would sincerely encourage you to reach out directly. You will be listened to, in confidence and without any prejudice. We do, however, need to address a number of points that do not reflect the business as it actually operates. On leadership and family involvement — one family member is employed, on merit, in a standard role. That is the full extent of it. On travel — the CEO actually flies economy more often than most staff. Business Class, where used, is always client-funded, and there is an openly communicated internal incentive to reduce travel class on shorter legs to improve project performance. The characterisation here is the reverse of reality. On remuneration and expenses — salaries are benchmarked annually against the CIBSE/Hays Salary Survey. Bonus and salary structures are published. All travelling staff hold company credit cards, and expenses are processed through that system. On the office — it is air-conditioned with fresh air ventilation throughout. It is a functional rather than showy space, but the description offered here is genuinely unrecognisable. On the allegations of racism and misogyny, we take these seriously. The business is culturally diverse, and such behaviour is not tolerated. If specific incidents have occurred, we would strongly encourage those involved to raise them formally so they can be properly addressed. We recognise that some frustrations expressed here may be genuine, and we are sorry if any individual has felt undervalued. The door remains open.

You will meet good people here — smart, capable, hardworking. The kind of folks who show up every day trying to make things work despite the conditions. They deserve a better environment than the one they are given.

Desventajas

What I learned at this company is pretty simple: when leadership stops paying attention to reality, reality eventually catches up. Clients in the industry talk, and the picture they paint is consistent. Many avoid working with this company because they have lost confidence in its stability. High staff turnover only reinforces that concern — when familiar faces disappear every few months, clients take their business somewhere steadier. From what I experienced, that turnover has a clear cause. Decisions are made far from the people doing the actual work, and communication only seems to travel in one direction. Promises about roles, bonuses, and progression sound good at the start, but they rarely materialise in practice. Pay can be delayed, deductions are not explained upfront, and contractors operate without the basic clarity they need. It all adds up to an environment where trust erodes quickly. There is also a noticeable gap between the image the company projects and what happens internally. A lot of effort goes into outward displays of success, yet the fundamentals — transparent leadership, reliable operations, fair workloads — do not receive the same attention. HR feels more like a shield for management than a resource for employees, and concerns often vanish without resolution. When the people doing the work consistently feel unheard, the results are predictable: burnout, frustration, and a steady flow of departures. It is not complicated. If you give people fifty tasks and only the resources for twenty, you cannot be surprised when things start to crack.

Thank you for this. It's a more considered review than most, and it deserves a considered reply rather than a defensive one. We'll start with where we agree, because there is genuine common ground. The observation that capable, committed people are sometimes asked to carry more than the resources reasonably allow is fair, and we won't wave it away. Where that has happened, the honest answer is that planning and resourcing needed to be better. Communication, too, has at times run more in one direction than it should. These are real, and they are the things we are actually working on — not the parts we'd dispute. Where we see it differently is on the claims that go to the heart of the business. The idea that clients are quietly losing confidence and drifting away doesn't match our experience: our relationships are, for the most part, long-standing and expanding, which is not where a company ends up if its market has genuinely stopped trusting it. Some movement of staff is simply the nature of specialist consultancy — though we take the point that, internally, the reasons people move on aren't always made as visible as they could be. On pay, we want to be precise rather than dismissive. We're not aware of salaried staff being paid late, and the means to query anything on a payslip exists and is used. Deductions are the standard statutory and contractual ones, set out in the paperwork people receive — and if any of those have ever felt unclear, that's a conversation we would far rather have directly than leave to assumption. Contractors are engaged on different terms by their nature, and some of the lack of clarity described may reflect that distinction rather than a failure on our part. On HR, we'd respectfully push back on the notion that it exists only to shield management. The formal routes are there to be used, and concerns raised through them are recorded and followed up. Where someone feels a concern simply "vanished," we'd genuinely want to know why, because that isn't how it's meant to work. The broader message — that a business can't run on promises or on turnover indefinitely — isn't one we actually disagree with. It's sound advice. The fairest thing we can say in reply is that we'd much rather hear it directly, while there's still room to act on it, than read it here once the decision to leave has already been made. And to the colleagues this reviewer rightly praises: we agree entirely. We are listening — perhaps a little more than this review allows. The EECO2 Management Team
