Pros

Fun to work on a private secondaries platform.

Cons

Performance reviews mean nothing. They have always been leadership heavy and resist transparency. Middle managers are over powered and will flex on you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with leadership and the performance review process fell short of expectations. Honest feedback like yours is critical in helping us improve. We know that performance reviews should be meaningful and transparent, and it’s disappointing to hear that this wasn’t your experience. We’ve been working to evolve our performance management practices to ensure they are fair, consistent, and truly reflective of the impact and contributions of each individual. Regarding your concerns about leadership dynamics and middle management, we recognize the need for balanced, empowering leadership at all levels. That includes creating an environment where feedback is welcomed and where power dynamics do not hinder collaboration or transparency. We appreciate your acknowledgment of the interesting work being done here, and we’re committed to creating a culture where that work can thrive alongside respectful, accountable leadership. Your perspective is valued, and we wish you the best in your continued career journey. Chief People Officer Forge Global
