Pros

*Allows me to practice medicine the way I think should be practiced -- gives me the time, capacity, and innovative tools to build patient rapport and deliver optimal primary care *Unlike traditional primary care I don't spend a large proportion of my time on admin tasks that can quickly lead to burnout *Fantastic workplace culture with smart, curious, like-minded colleagues and supportive leadership *I feel that my voice and feedback to the company is highly valued

Cons

*Keeping up with its constantly evolving unique EMR, technology, and patient-facing products require openness to change and flexibility *Busy workdays as the company grows *Learning curve for efficiency esp if transitioning from a totally different health care system (this is to be expected)

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.
