We really appreciate your honest review! It means a lot to hear that our welcoming culture feels genuine to you - we try hard to keep things authentic and skip the corporate fluff. We're also glad that you are feeling valued when it comes to the compensation, benefits, and incredible people you get to work with. As for the cons you mentioned, we never want anyone on the team to feel like they have to work unsustainable hours or can't disconnect. We are moving fast and tackling a lot right now, but taking breaks and stepping away from the screen during the day is so important for your well-being. We don't want our fast pace to lead to burnout. Please don't hesitate to chat with your manager about your current bandwidth so they can help you prioritize and find a more sustainable daily balance. Thank you for your encouragement to the leadership team, and for all the hard work you put in!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We really appreciate you highlighting the balance between our ambition and our culture. Hitting those big goals is only possible when we truly work together as a team, so we try our best to foster an environment where people actually want to help each other succeed - both personally and professionally. And you're totally right about the fast pace and the disruption that comes with growth, but we appreciate your adaptability and patience as we navigate those shifting dynamics together. Thanks for all your hard work and for being such a supportive part of the team!

Pros

The possibilities are endless when it comes to building your career and story at Forward. Significant runway to develop, reshape the business lending landscape, and receive the support from peers and leadership. One of the most collaborative and positive environments I've ever experienced where there are no silos with a flat leadership structure. Everyone is approachable, having fun, and is looking out for you. Never a dull moment and I always look forwarding to celebrating with everyone in Boston.

Cons

None that I can think of!

Thank you so much for sharing your perspective! Giving people the space to actually shape their own career and make a real impact on the business is something we really care about. We're also happy to hear the team dynamic feels so open and connected. We try hard to keep internal barriers out of the way so people can work together and support each other across the entire company. Knowing you feel that genuine backing from both your peers and leadership is fantastic. And we couldn't agree more about our Boston events - catching up and celebrating in person is always a highlight! It's great that you don't have any cons to share right now. If you ever do think of ways we can keep improving, our door is always open. Thanks for being part of the team!
