Pros

-free snacks -thats about it -the office looks fun and welcoming but beware... its not what it's really like.

Cons

-If you are good at what you do... BE CAREFUL. Management will see you as a threat and demote/terminate you. -everyone is fake -EXTREMELY low pay in every department (all live month to month) -Upper management doesn't care about your personal/career growth -very "clicky"... if you're not in a top management position you have ZERO respect -You will be terminated if you attempt to renegotiate your pay, even if you're exceeding your goals -Job security isn't a thought. They lead by instilling fear of being fired. Especially CEO Matt Cook.

Pros

*Before Matt Cook returned in 2023 and disrupted everything, there was a good interim CEO. This guy held company-wide meetings and addressed the workforce with gratitude and treated them like humans. Unfortunately, this interim CEO was replaced by the current fear-monger Cook.

Cons

*Company morale is in the toilet being flushed several times a week. *Little company direction, because the CEO is insane. *Most employees, with very few exceptions (because they're too new to know any better), want to leave. *The current CEO, Matt Cook, exhibits a shocking lack of morals and empathy. His dismissive and condescending attitude creates a toxic work environment. He frequently disappears for weeks or months, then re-emerges not to inspire, but to demoralize the team. Instead of spreading positivity, he unleashes crazy personal attacks through emails that go far beyond typical "out of touch" CEO behavior into outright abuse. Like the Wizard of Oz, he hides in his corner office, too cowardly to face the staff after his tirades. His leadership style can best be described as passive aggressive, megalomaniacal, and excessively domineering. This might be tolerable if he had any positive leadership qualities, but he does not. His only solution to problems (that he himself causes due to his jack-in-the-box style leadership) is to fire people. He has dismissed many loyal employees who helped build the company from the ground up, offering no severance or warning. Matt Cook's leadership is driven by an insatiable thirst for power and control, always seemingly at the expense of employee morale and well-being.

Pros

No pros left, it's all burned up

Cons

I had to leave a review after reading one created what looks like a few days ago that is such corporate BS. I still have some friends at ethika, and they're all looking for new jobs, because the place is a complete trash heap of despair and low morale. Unless you hate yourself, avoid this place at all costs.
