Ethos Life reviews

People at Ethos are overall extremely smart. I have been here for a few years now and the quality of people have continued to remain high. People work hard and generally know what they are talking about. I still have not seen any of the politicking/backstabbing you hear about at other companies. Leadership has become better over the past year. Goals are more clear, strategy is clear, and there's generally less thrash mid-quarter. Every month, leadership shares the financials and it seems we are hitting our goals to be break even while growing a lot. I see some mad ex-employees on glassdoor complaining about existing employees writing positive reviews. Well I am an existing employee and this is amongst the better startups you can be at. Every company has issues and Ethos isn't perfect but it beats being at a company no strategy and running out of cash.
