Pros

Lots of amazing people to work with.

Cons

Definitely has a "good ol' boys culture" where if you're not in the inner circle w/ the CEO, you're always on the chopping block. CEO oftentimes touts his own wealth as employees are paid at standard wages. Lots of tip toeing around him and others. Most of the leadership team has left - lots of turnover. But they're trying!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback on our Glassdoor page. First, we respectfully disagree with your assessment of our culture at Forge. We’re very proud of the diversity of leadership we have at Forge. Half of our executive team is led by women including our Chief Technology Officer, our Chief Accounting Officer and our Chief Revenue Officer. We also pride ourselves in our transparent culture. And with that, our CEO has been willing to answer questions about his own compensation when asked by employees durning our company All-Hands meetings. Our compensation philosophy includes a strategy to pay based on market comparables and performance, which means promotion increases can vary by position and by individual. Our management team wants to hear direct feedback so we can address any concerns. We encourage employees to speak with their managers, or the People Team, or send specific feedback through the anonymous All-Hands survey link at any time. Sincerely, Chief People Officer Forge Global
