Approach Ethos with caution: great colleagues / under developed exec leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) great direct supervisors 2) hardworking and kind colleagues 3) a lot of ERGs to be involved with 4) when things are going well, it’s a good place to be

Cons

1) executive leadership will make broad and sweeping statements that sound nice and reassuring but are hollow in meaning and misleading. 2) mid level supervisors appear out of the loop and are reactive to executive leaderships’ decisions. It’s discouraging to see people unsure of what’s coming next and there is a general sense of lack of autonomy 3) there is an emphasis on external appearances rather than outcomes

Company seems to lack long-term strategy

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company has been able to recruit talent from broad swath of top companies; teammates are sharp and hard-charging

Cons

Too many weekly fire drills, seemingly driven by highest levels of exec management. Exacerbated by an approach that seems to be entirely driven by trying to hit quarterly financial targets, many of which can be considered stretch goals at best, and at worst, unrealistic. The company has clearly had a winning formula to get to the current stage of success, so that should be celebrated. At the same time, the current inflection point comes with a very unclear outcome going forward. As a result, work/life balance is pretty terrible for some teams, but maybe is more manageable for others (?)

Pros

- Great team, excellent talent across the board - Unicorn start up status - $2.7 billion evaluation - Stock options - Great manager on my team - Lot of opportunity to contribute outside of set job descriptions

Cons

- Processes constantly changing - reality of the start up world - Monotonous day to day on the sales side. Same conversations over and over again. Can get boring at times - Full 40 hour weeks - on the partnerships side your day is a FULL 8 hours of set meetings, outreach, email, etc. Can be exhausting.
