Ethos Life reviews

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 (?)

Worst place I’ve ever worked. Culture is toxic. Co-founders dictate everything and when it doesn’t go right, it’s your fault. I’ve been stabbed in the back so many times, I lost count. Cherry on top was that the IPO was celebrated with a 7:1 reverse stock split. So equity was reduced even though management wanted you to believe nothing changed.
