Ecolab, Inc.

"Don't do it, you will never be good enough or achieve enough. "

"Long hours away from kids no time in your life at home "

"The growth opportunities are endless - both for business growth and professional development. "

"Ecolab is constantly striving for improvement, especially in the areas of D&I and equity. There is still some work to be done, but the company is making good headway. Overall, it's a great company to work for and offers terrific benefits. "

"Ecolab does a lot to promote inclusivity and equity for all employees including those who identify as female, people of color, GLBTQ+, and differently-abled. They benchmark their pay equity using an independent third party, they host workshops and networking events specifically aimed at women, have supportive HR policies including flex-time and work-from-home policies (which they have had for years), paid family leave (maternity, paternity, adoption), and nursing support. They have many women in highly-visible leadership roles throughout the organization including several division GMs and executives including the C-Suite."

"There are many women in leadership positions at Ecolab, though I do think there is some room for growth in that respect. I feel very supported by the people around me- everyone takes responsibility for their work, everyone is invested is helping each other, and I feel secure that my team and managers have my back- including the head of our department telling an admin that the way she was spoken to by a client was rude and unacceptable, that if that's how that client behaves they aren't going to have a relationship with Ecolab, and to give her that number so she can call them and set some things straight. This is the healthiest work environment I've ever had. "

"There's a lot of talk about people moving around to different roles within the company to gain new experiences, and many people do, but I'll be honest: it's mostly lateral moves. There's not much opportunity to advance into technical leadership roles for women because these positions don't "move around" like junior-level roles do. I also think this company has good intentions when it comes to diversity and inclusion efforts, but I just don't feel it down at the bottom of the ladder and I can't wait around for a more inclusive culture to be adopted."

"Working at Ecolab as a woman is absolutely wonderful! I have always felt that I have been treated equally, fairly and have felt comfortable. I love that Ecolab is always striving towards being the best out there and will not stop until they are. Ecolab has received the Forbes "Best Employers for Women" award and is focused on obtaining other awards that are focused on woman. I can truly say Ecolab is a company that is extremely welcoming and fair to everyone out there."

"I feel like this company is both open to feedback and ready for positive change. No company is perfect, but this one has leaders who champion the ideas of diversity, gender equality and inclusion. Are we done with this work? No, of course not. But the point is that we're working on it, actively, every day."

"My experience at Ecolab has been very positive. I am provided with challenging opportunities and have been recognized for the impact of my work. Historically this company has been male dominated given its industry and the lack of female candidates. However, I feel the company has been taking sincere and visible actions to change this. I feel positive about my opportunities to grow my career here."

"There are increasing amounts of opportunity for women at Ecolab, and the leadership is focused on improving in this area. However, this industry and business is heavily male dominated, and fortitude and persistence are necessary as the organization evolves."

"It is a great place to advance your career. What you do matters! "

"Ecolab is a good company with a great mission. It is a very engineering and science based company with a very aggressive and competitive culture."

"Women and people of color are highly underrepresented and undervalued. Company culture insists that the company is actively working to improve this; however, there is much to be desired right now. "

"You would have to be a certain race and love gossip. The manager has favorites. "

"Ecolab is a male dominated company. Leaders are pushing for a more inclusive workplace but they lack the ability to help lower levels of the organization understand the value. The HR team does not have the creativity or influence to create meaningful change with policies or culture. Unfortunately many of the HR leaders are women who are competitive and lack inclusive values themselves. The company is investing in branding to help portray the desired state of diversity of the workforce, but don't be fooled. A lot of change is needed before Ecolab is a place where color, gender, style, thoughts are all respected equally. "

"Our purpose is very motivating, and it attracts smart, passionate people who work hard to make a difference in the world. Just like any company that's grown both organically and through M&A, Ecolab is constantly evolving... the good news is that our leadership is, too. From my vantage point, I get the feeling there is genuine desire to not only be the best for our customers and shareholders, but for our employees, too. There's a lot of pride in how we go about doing the work: ethically and in a way that includes everyone. "

"Ecolab puts forth tremendous efforts to recognize, elevate, and empower women in the work place. The opportunities for growth and development are endless."

"Ecolab is overtly working to become a more diverse company and realizes that they have work to do in the areas of gender diversity and people of color."

"I would say there's a strong network for women and we need to push for more women in leadership"

"In my experience, Ecolab is an excellent place to work. I've worked for various managers on different teams and have always felt supported and encouraged."

"Ecolab impacts the quality of life for all people and the environment. Ecolab strives to be an inclusive and diverse place of work. "

"Although Ecolab's senior leadership is predominantly men, the company is making significant strides in diversity and inclusion. During my on-boarding process, I was pleasantly surprised with the incredibly diverse group of incoming candidates. Important changes are being made and the 'boy's club' traditions are fleeting. "

"As a woman, I feel very lucky to work for an employer like Ecolab. I believe my perspective and feedback is valued, and I feel supported in my decisions both professionally and in my personal life."
