Pros
- Ethos has some of the smartest and most hard working people I've ever worked with. It's an extremely high performance team. I've worked at companies in the past where I have to pick up other people's slack, but haven't experienced that here yet - Management and the founders are pretty open to feedback - There isn't much politics. People are really results-oriented and are usually pretty collaborative. No one really has an ego and everyone is nice. - Free breakfast lunch and dinner
Cons
- People who join and don't meet the high performance standard aren't given a lot of time to improve. I've seen some coworkers leave in just a few months.. it can be a team morale killer - More career development. Personal stipends for classes/training have to be approved individually. At other companies, I used to just get a flat amount per year. There's also not many training opportunities - Priorities can shift quickly. One day one thing is the highest priority, and next day the another thing is. I've spent time working hard at one thing only to find it is no longer important. I know it's a startup, but still it's still frustrating - Founders are young and lack experience, but they do a good job at listening to feedback
