Pros

Ethos is a fascinating company to work for. Every day is a adrenaline fueled ride with hills and bumps!!! One of the few marketplace businesses I have seen where there isn't any competition at all. The competitors in the space are either out of money or bankrupt while Ethos has infinite runway left/growing massively and breakeven EBITDA. What excites me the most is we aren't even 1% of all policies sold in life insurance per year with on competition other than a 150 year old industry that hasnt changed Founders are very humble and get their hands dirty, common to see them build/work along side you.

Cons

.Startups are ups and downs. Have to have a bit of gumption to withstand the ups and downs knowing ethos is number one in space and competitors are out of money

Pros

A company that is focused and disciplined on progress. Extremely results oriented. Amazing people to work and learn from. So much product velocity as every team is shipping highly impactful features almost regularly. Open and honest environment with no BS. Equity will be worth something.

Cons

Last year has been challenging for tech industry overall. Ethos was extremely proactive in cutting when needed and now growing. Every company went through multiple RIFs but Ethos went out of its way to be transparent about it and generous to affected teammates. This is what is making us win now. All our competition is dying one after another while the team here is accelerating. Startups are hard and creating a successful one is even harder. So its not for everyone. I am glad we are one of the companies that will come out stronger from current downturn.
