      Inexperienced, Untrustworthy Leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work from home - Smart coworkers

      Cons

      - Leadership lacks a real vision for the company (beyond empty slogans) and is constantly changing direction. Too much change and "bias for action" result in multiple mistakes and poor decisions. Absolutely no transparency and no accountability. Communication from leadership seemed wishy-washy at times. - Poor leadership is reflected in the product. Doing too many different things all at once doesn't help. - If you are considering joining Ethos, you better ask yourself whether your job needs to be US-based. If not, you'll probably be fired as soon as they can outsource it.

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

      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

      Pros

      The company is growing extremely fast in every dimension. The quality of the team is constantly increasing as more and more intelligent and accomplished people are joining Ethos. The majority of the growth has happened in the last 15 months and everyone has done a great job in scaling with the growth in terms of people and processes. Every single team is constantly getting better and better in its execution. In engineering, some really senior engineers from really solid companies have joined and working hard on not only shipping features fast but also upgrading our tech stack, infrastructure, design system, data, security, etc. There are still pains but given the size of the team, everyone is doing a phenomenal job in scaling with this crazy growth. The leadership team takes in a lot of feedback and is constantly adapting culture, strategy, and tactics based on the feedback. This is clearly a tier-1 startup and I am excited to be a part of this.

      Cons

      Things are growing very fast, which is bound to bring some chaos adjusting to this growth. The company takes a lot of bets and sometimes when these bets do not pan out, it could be disheartening. The infrastructure, processes, and communication is still evolving and needs more work to continue to scale with this rapid growth.
