The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ethos Life (New York, NY)
Interview
HR was decent, the process took 2-3 weeks
Went to their SF office for 3 technical and 1 ceo face to face interview. Early stage company so a little disorganized. Everything was fine, until the Indian CTO walked in. He had a question in hand and the only hint he gave was....think simpler. Guys I'm an Indian too and let me tell you I my pants too when an Indian walks in to interview me. I actually knew the question from LC before and just wanted to test him, cuz honestly why not! I gave some weird optimized theories, which actually worked but were not the solution he had in mind. So, "think simpler" 🤣
I applied through university. I interviewed at Ethos Life (Bangalore Rural) in Oct 2025
Interview
First I received online Assessment link. I got shortlisted for the interview. Interview was pretty simple 1 DSA round and 1 LLD round. OA was pretty tough though. OA was 90 minutes and had 3 questions 2 DSA graph and Tree based questions and 1 Backend problem. Interviewer was more concerned about my approach to problem rather than actual solution. LLD round was taken by Senior Manager and he was quite helpful.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ethos Life (Bengaluru) in Dec 2024
Interview
Interviewer was from Singapore and was hardly even interested to take the interview. He directly jumped on the question tried guiding me for a minute or so and gave me an hour of pure silence where I am trying to talk explain and walk him through the approachable nd code and everything

I applied through an online job board and received an interview invitation a week and a half later. I did not make it past the initial 30-minute phone screen with HR but there would have been two more rounds, a virtual technical round, and another behavioral round.
