I worked at EC over 3 years ago. Had great success during start up and believed in what they started. Since leaving I periodically check in to see if things have got better or worse since leaving. Apparently I got out in time as nothing has changed but actually sounds significantly worse. Same oh story just a different bite block sale or failed scope day. I 110% bought into GC and MG BullS*** for years. The hope and dreams speech got to be a joke as years passed, stress sky rocketed and income decreased. I watched all my friends in the industry work less, make significantly more money and have a career path with a 401k match. 3 years ago FUSE was about to be released and it seemed as if EC had not even got the MAKO forcep right, could not get SEAL to stop leaking and gown to not soak up water, etc. so how in the hell were they going to launch a scope? Enough was enough and I gave up on this company. In three years, joined a stable industry respected company, worked less, made more money, won many trips/awards and recently moved into senior leadership. I truly have so much respect for the reps that have stuck around since day one. Sad to see the company is bleeding more money than they were 4 years ago. I don't always believe the grass is always greener but in the case of EC, yes it is.
