Pros

Forte Research has been on the Inc 5000 list of fastest growing companies for the last four years in a row. This is clearly indicative of not just driven and committed employees but also of satisfied customers who are willing to continue their association with Forte. For anyone looking at a company that promises independence in the way they approach their work, as well as an opportunity to learn and develop themselves as professionals, Forte is the right place to be. The open environment and easy commaraderie add to the charm of working here. Given the vibrancy in the strategies and the ability of the company to quickly adapt to changing market demands, Forte also has great future prospects and thus more opportunities for employees to move forward in their careers.

Cons

According to me there are no cons related to working at Forte. This is one workplace where employees truly enjoy themselves while they work and team spirit is really one of the best that I've ever witnessed. It is really quite simple, when you enjoy what you do, work no longer feels like a chore! Forte has a highly participative environment where employees contribute directly to decision-making, particularly whilst hiring new talent, and every opinion is welcomed and valued.

Pros

Most of the people at Forte are absolutely amazing. They are smart, caring, and fun. Forte has many of the perks you'd expect in a software company including a game room, free snacks, and flexible hours. The volunteer time off policy and the health reimbursements are also fantastic fringe benefits. It's nice that it's located in Middleton and away from the usual traffic of downtown or Epic.

Cons

My struggle with Forte is likely somewhat unique to my situation. I just couldn't find my "niche", and after months of poking around to see how to best fit in, I decided my best bet was to look elsewhere. The PTO and bereavement policies seem a bit antiquated, but I have my fingers crossed that enough people have voiced this concern that Forte will alter their policies in the next year or two. I'm not going to focus much on the cons of Forte because overall it was and is a fantastic company, and it remains the best software company that I know of in the Madison area. That being said, there are some elements of truth in other reviewers' negative comments about Forte--particularly in regard to product direction and career progression.
