Fantastic Team and Perks, But Clarity Can Be Improved

Pros

The company offers a solid benefits package, including complementary insurance and additional PTOs beyond standard vacation, which really supports work-life balance. The culture is genuinely welcoming — it feels like a place where people care about each other and take pride in what they do. The team is made up of incredibly talented individuals who are both collaborative and inspiring to work with.

Cons

There are moments when other departments seem to influence our workflows without enough collaboration, which can make it feel like our team's autonomy is being overlooked.

Unicorn Company

Pros

People and Culture Business goals Salary Time off Coaching and training Professional development Career opportunities Work from home/Hybrid Trust in employees Charitable Giving This company has truely been a unicorn in terms of how we treat employees and customers. Everyone at Forward is invested in the growth of the company and the employee. It has been a long time since I have been involved with a company that values all levels the way Forward does. This place has been amazing, I feel valued every day and my goal is to make a positive impact and grow with the company. Also they are involved with the community and make a sustained effort to support the causes you are interested in by providing an employer match plus "gifts" of donations that you can allocate to your chosen charity through Millie! I cant say enough good things about my experience. I will continue to recommend Forward to anyone who is motivated and wants an amazing place to work!

Cons

The speed of which changes are implemented can feel rushed, but the company is focused on moving forward and continued growth.

We so appreciate you mentioning our charitable giving efforts, too! We're really proud of our commitment to helping our communities and supporting the causes that matter most to our team members. You're right, things can sometimes feel like they move quickly as we focus on growth and moving forward. We definitely hear you on that, and appreciate your advice on scoping initiatives and iterating with timelines – that’s really helpful feedback as we continue to evolve as a company. We truly can't thank you enough for sharing such kind words and for recommending Forward so highly. We're so grateful to have you on the team!

Good Growth and Chances, but Fast-Paced

Pros

My experience at Forward has been marked by consistent professional development and significant opportunities for advancement, including increased responsibilities and subsequent promotion. The collaborative and engaging team environment fosters a positive workplace culture. The organization maintains a strong emphasis on performance and strategically recruits talented individuals to facilitate continued growth and success. The recent CEO transition has introduced a dynamic leader with a clear vision and relevant experience to scale the company, offering substantial opportunities for ambitious and dedicated employees. Furthermore, the company provides competitive benefits and ample paid time off.

Cons

Achieving optimal work-life balance can be challenging at times, particularly when focused on meeting operational goals and objectives. The emphasis on rapid execution and managing multiple concurrent projects can lead to periods of heightened stress and potential fatigue within the organization. Success in this environment necessitates strong time management skills and the capacity to maintain a high level of productivity.
