Pros

People first, amazing culture, great management and systems, and a vision I can get behind.

Cons

remote first, so if that's not your thing, then there are only a few cities where an office is available.

Forward Financing Response

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! We love to hear that our focus on our people is translating into great management and a solid work/life balance for you. And you're right - we're very intentional about how we grow the team! Taking that extra time during the interview process to find candidates who truly add to our culture and bring the right skills makes all the difference. You make a good point about our remote-first work environment, too. While we love the day-to-day flexibility, we know how important in-person connection is. That’s exactly why we bring the whole company together twice a year for our Forward Palooza events, in addition to individual team offsites throughout the year! Thank you for believing in our mission and for being such a great part of the team!

Pros

Top-Tier Compensation & Resources: The company pays very well and genuinely invests in its employees by providing excellent resources to help us succeed. Incredible Culture & Team: My coworkers and team members are amazing, hardworking, and deeply dedicated. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and we do truly meaningful work together every day. Fantastic Remote Environment: The remote work setup is seamless and highly effective, making it a wonderful place to work from anywhere. Rewarding Leadership: As a manager, it is incredibly fulfilling to support my team, solve problems for our customers, and cross the finish line on major tasks. I feel genuinely lucky to be a part of this organization.

Cons

Learning Curve & Operational Complexity: The environment is very fast-paced, and the product itself is highly complex. It takes a significant amount of time to learn the ins and outs, which naturally makes managing the operations space a bit challenging. Heavy Manual Workload: There are a lot of manual reviews required, which can lead to an increased workload for managers. Growing Pains: Right now, there is a lot of reliance on "tribal knowledge" and navigating gray areas. As the company continues to expand, leadership will need to prioritize building more standardized, scalable processes to ease the operational burden.
