Pros

Cool culture and fun events

Cons

This company is absolutely pathetic. They claim to be the most transparent and most caring about their employees. However, they are just filled with lies to try and keep people happy so they will shut up. All of these "positive" reviews you see on here are from current employees that were asked (forced) to put them up there... Or they come from the HR team. Those employees are probably afraid if they don't do it then they will get fired. Upper management has no clue what they are doing and honestly they do not care.  If you want to be left in the dark about everything that goes on.... then this could be a good fit for you. Otherwise, I would run.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Like many other companies interested in understanding employee sentiment, we invite employees to write an anonymous review about their experience working at Forward. We do not ask or require our team members to write positive feedback. Especially now that we are working remotely, we want to know what’s going well and what isn’t, to resolve problems promptly. We’re especially sorry to hear that you feel like there’s a lack of transparency. Ensuring that our team feels informed and connected is one of our top priorities. For example, we want team members to understand what’s expected of them, what they’re doing well, and how they can improve by providing timely performance feedback. Also, we send out a weekly anonymous survey inviting team members to include questions or comments to be addressed by the leadership team in the weekly company-wide huddles. If you have other recommendations on how we can create a greater sense of transparency, please feel free to email the People and Culture team at peopleandculture@forwardfinancing.com. Thank you!

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.
