Absent leadership and instability - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Ekco

The only pros is the free food in the kitchen

Please see my notes on the next box

Fast-paced environment with exposure to a wide range of technologies, customers, and real operational pressure. If you want to experience what it feels like to work in constantly moving and sometimes chaotic environments, Ekco will definitely sharpen your technical skills, resilience, and ability to adapt quickly. For the right person, the experience can accelerate both personal and professional growth significantly. For the right person, the chaos can become a powerful growth accelerator.

The pace and constant context-switching can become exhausting over time. A lot depends on the customer account, leadership around you, and your own mindset entering the environment. Some engineers thrive in the chaos because they consciously choose that lifestyle, while others slowly burn out under sustained operational pressure. At times, it felt like the business struggled to recognise when key engineers were operationally misaligned rather than simply disengaged. The two are not always the same. Some people still care deeply about the work and the people around them, but prolonged reactive pressure, constant firefighting, and lack of alignment can slowly wear them down over time.
