Pros
Great culture with a team that genuinely cares, fast moving company where you feel like you’re adding value from the get go I’ve been at Ethos for a while and fully admit it was just a job to me for the longest time. It wasn’t until Covid when I realized what a good thing we have going on. Company still tries hard to maintain a positive culture, build community, and be supportive in what has been a difficult year for everyone. We have an Austin office and I heard they reached out to our teammates in the office to offer support and find shelter for those in need. You don’t get that with all start ups. The company is moving crazy fast (which can be a lot at times) but if you’re any bit ambitious and looking to grow and learn, it’s a great environment and stepping stone as you’re given the opportunity to add value early.
Cons
As I said about the fast pace, that can be a lot at times. I have been here a few years and I know several of my past teammates who left because of the lifecycle. My thought is this though, this is is the class startup environment and experience we’re getting. Sure you’re gonna have to work hard but that’s to be expected for any big payoff. If you want to just coast on by and have an easy mindless job, this isn’t it. But I can appreciate people who left because they didn’t align with Ethos’ way of works.
