      A startup on the rise that's full of interesting problems - Anonymous employee Forward Employee Review

      Pros

      - Very smart people who are constantly ready to collaborate on problems - Mission driven organization - Due to the growth, have to rethink the approach to a lot of problems - Depends on the person, but not about the silly SF tech startup perks. No foosball tables, etc. But enough of what you might want (snacks) - Inclusive environment - Management is transparent with company goals, numbers, and issues.

      Cons

      - Company is definitely catching up to some growing pains with late leadership & general staff hires. - Opposite of the pro - like any startup, can get caught up in re-inventing too much. - This is a rapidly growing company that's locked in on the mission, expect to work a lot (a pro and a con, depending on your perspective).

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Supportive and collaborative team, strong product mindset, clear goals, and respect for design. High ownership, trust, and autonomy. Leadership is open to feedback, and designers are involved in real product decisions, not just visuals.

      Cons

      Fast-paced environment with a lot of responsibility, which may not be ideal for someone looking for a slower or more structured workflow. Priorities can shift as the company grows, but this is typical for scaling teams.

      Pros

      1. Smart and friendly coworkers 2. Good engineering culture 3. Opportunities for growth

      Cons

      1. Not-profitable - Forward never found a working model to solve the problem, and anchored heavily on solutions that lacked market-fit evidence. Contradictory to the problem-focused culture at Forward. 2. The finance problems lead to urgency. Work was demanding and tough across the org. However, engineering velocity was not the problem to begin with, leading to a vicious cycle of unmet goals -> tighter deadlines. 3. Frequent and fundamental shifts in company priorities leading to disorganized sprints and planning. A lot of work were throw away despite long hours invested.
