Solid place to grow & have a career

Pros

Every member of the Engineering department is great to work with. There's unlimited PTO, good benefits, competitive pay, and full-time remote positions. The opportunities to grow and develop your skills are there, you just have to make yourself heard and take advantage of them when possible.

Cons

Feels like the culture of the company, or at least the engineering department, has taken a hit lately. Company seems to be "growing up" in the sense that it's getting to be all about pushing out new features and finishing the latest "high priority" project (there's a newer, higher priority project every week somehow), less flexibility to do R&D or reduce tech debt.

An excellent company that can feel like a family

Pros

Amazing people, great mission and great values Overall, this is a fantastic company. I was there for a little over a year and can honestly say I never met anyone I didn't want to work with. The culture is amazing and they really make sure people are a great fit and competent in their role. Sadly in March '23 they succumb to some macroeconomic issues which caused layoffs, otherwise I'd still be happy employed there.

Cons

Potentially some culture shakeups post layoffs. I know in engineering after the Vp of Engineering left, it created some holes, but I believe they already had a plan to address this.

Thank you so much for sharing about your experience at Forward! We value every member of the Forward team, both past and present, as our team is what makes our culture and organization so special. Due to the impact of the macroeconomic environment, we had to make the extremely difficult decision to reduce our workforce in order to right-size our business. While we had to say goodbye to members of our Forward Family, our priority remains serving our customers and cultivating a special and inclusive culture for our team. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Most importantly, Forward is very focused on ensuring that all employees feel included, and that we truly embed DEI into everything we do. Over the past year the representation of diverse talent has increased across all teams and we've also seen a high level of engagement in our continued DEI programming. We'd love to chat through your feedback in more detail - we hope you'll reach out to a member of the People & Culture team to share your thoughts!
