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.

Pros

A young company that really has no idea what it's doing, so theoretically you could have a lot of impact.

Cons

Ethos' upper management talks a good game about culture and putting people first, but it's all a lie. The brain drain from many of the earlier employees who built the company has been extreme over the past year. And they will let people go at the earliest sign of financial stress, or just because their manager doesn't like them. Frankly I've never been treated as badly as I was at Ethos.
