can't any one give some kind of an objective view of the place and job?
You are never going to get objective on a forum like this, just peoples subjective experiences. If you care to look back about 7-10 years, you will find nothing but good said about EK and indeed we used to defend the company vigorously in those days. Times have changed, our management does not even attempt to be honest, caring or really give a damn about safety.
What you get here on the forum is the external symptoms of a chronic disease, ignore them at your discretion.
