Excellent colleagues but no prisoners taken

Pros

The average competency and intelligence in this company is substantially above any other company I've ever been at. At prior companies, i struggle to explain basic metrics and concepts to business people. At ethos, everyone just gets it which i was very surprised at. Everyone is super sharp, and is an amazing environment to learn from. Stakes are high for analytics team because major product & business decisions are taken from the analysis. This actually stresses me out sometimes, but it's better than in prior jobs where i will work on some analysis, only for the management to take a decision that was literally opposite of what i recommend.

Cons

Get ready to work hard and work fast. You better be smart and ready to go. the environment at ethos is that if you are not at the bar, you are out quickly. There's no prisoners taken here. I personally think this is a good thing, but i know it causes many people stress who are not ready for it.

Pros

Great co-workers. The Company has managed to hire a pretty incredible team that is crazy smart and hard working. There are also a lot of ex-FANG folks who joined Ethos as the next step in the careers to help scale and grow the business (which says a lot about the faith in the company). There aren't a lot of competitors providing a good service or product in this tough space so as long as the Company executes well they are on the right track to becoming hugely successful.

Cons

As all companies that are scaling, there are issues which make working here challenging. Some of the biggest issues are around competing priorities which can lead to a lot of thrash and lack of co-ordination / clear ownership of projects. This is not a place for someone who is looking for stability or for wanting to take a back seat. All the ingredients needed to be successful are in the mix, so if you are someone who is willing to roll your sleeves up, fix problems and figure things out, it's a great place to grow, learn and come out successful at the other end.
