      Pros

      The team is amazing. The people in the company are hardworking and the only reason I've stayed as long as I have.

      Cons

      Leadership hasn't learned to mature from an early-stage startup into a more mature phase of the company at the expense of its employees. The compensation and benefits are middling at best. The vision just isn't there. Asking anyone in management why we are doing the things we're doing in one-on-ones always comes down to "LT wants it, so we have to." I'm ashamed of how Ethos handled their COVID-19 layoffs. They dismissed the individuals without any notice after being told for months that there would be no layoffs. From the ones I know personally, communication was almost non-existent as to why and they've been very tight-lipped with us as well. There is no honest differentiator between Ethos and its competitors.

      Thanks for your review. Sorry you didn’t have a great experience at Ethos. While Ethos is still a startup, on the startup scale, Ethos is a mature and stable environment (you have to be realistic about what a startup's journey looks like) - and we’ve hired many mature and seasoned leaders within Ethos. In our most recent anonymous team survey, 85% of team members recommend, or strongly recommend, Ethos as a place to work to their friends - which is spectacular compared to a benchmark of peer tech companies. Obviously, we regret having to have laid team members off in early Covid as we saw impacts to our business, but we treated those team members fairly and they’ve since moved on to other opportunities, and Ethos has overcome those obstacles. None of our team members are in the office today (or have been since quarantine began), so I'm not sure what the office comment you're referring to is. You're always free to reach out to me if you feel like something is left unsaid. Peter@ethoslife.com Peter, CEO

      All these FAKE 5-star reviews are literally PATHETIC and LAUGHABLE

      Pros

      If there's any integrity or little trust I had left with the leadership of this company, they are gone now along with all these fake 5 star reviews.

      Cons

      Not only did the leadership of this company lay off majority of the senior employees to offshore critical operations to cheap labors in India, now they are asking employees who survived the layoff to leave fake 5-star reviews here to balance off the bad reviews, which honestly is so pathetic and immature. Instead of focusing on getting the company back on track, they are more worried about hiding what ppl said about the mistakes they made. Just do a quick search on LinkedIn or check out other non 5-star reviews left here, you will see why there's currently a mass exodus of employees who are leaving voluntarily after seeing how untrustworthy the leaderships are. Seriously, anyone with an IQ of 10 can see through those fake reviews. If you are serious about your career and don't want to see it get completely jeopardized by immature/incompetent leaderships, DON'T GO TO THIS COMPANY!! You have been warned.

      Ethos punishes employees that report harassment and bullying

      Pros

      Fairly competitive compensation and benefits

      Cons

      Be very aware!!! Things were going well for me until I reported to my manager about a colleague that was bullying and harassing and creating a hostile work environment. I was told I was over-reacting and then terminated without notice or reason 2 days later. My email was then immediately turned off so I could not access the harassing messages that I was being sent. Also, there used to be several one-star reviews on this site that are now gone. Something fishy is clearly going on.
