Pros

- Great culture with great people - Remote first / remote friendly - Lots of cool things/projects to work on - Good access and communications from leadership team - Leadership team hyper focused on growth and making sure the business is moving in the right direction

Cons

- Typical growing pains of a fast-growing business. Lots of projects with competing and tight deadlines. However, my manager and skip manager have been really thoughtful about managing everyone's workload - The company has a high performance culture so you are constantly reminded to keep up - Would like some more structure when it comes to learning and development and career planning

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful and detailed feedback – we really appreciate hearing about your experience! It's awesome to hear you highlight the great culture and people here, as well as our remote work flexibility. We also love that you enjoy the projects you're working on, and feel that Forward leadership is accessible and steering the business in the right direction – that’s exactly what we're aiming for! We hear you on those "growing pains" that can come with a fast-moving business – lots of projects and tight deadlines can certainly make things feel hectic at times! It’s really great, though, that your leaders are being thoughtful about workload; that kind of support is so important. Your feedback on wanting more structure for learning, development, and career planning is super helpful – and something we're already working on! We're really excited about the recent launch of our new Forward Academy and believe this will be a big step in providing more resources for everyone's growth. We truly appreciate your feedback. Thanks again for sharing and for being part of the Forward 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.
