Pros

I started 90 days ago, and I can confirm: everything about this company's culture is legit. Everyone here is a genuine person, and the company itself feels incredibly authentic. What I love the most is there's no corporate fluff, just a lot of support and transparency that made my onboarding process super easy. The team is seriously driven. We’re always trying to raise the bar and push the limits on what we do, and it’s motivating to work around people who are focused on real impact. You'll definitely be challenged here, but in the best way. Even with all that high-level work, the work-life balance is truly good. Management actually tells you to log off and take time for yourself, which is incredible in such a driven company. That respect for personal time is huge.

Cons

Because we’re moving so fast and innovating in new areas, not every process is perfectly baked yet. If you prefer a workplace where everything is clearly documented and defined, you might find this challenging. However, for those who want a real opportunity to make a difference by defining new processes and helping to build the future of the company, this is an incredible place to be.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience - and congratulations on your first 90 days! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’ve felt the authenticity, transparency, and drive that define our culture. It means a lot to know that those values are showing up in your onboarding and daily work. We’re proud to be a place where people can do meaningful, challenging work and still have the space to unplug and recharge. That balance is something we intentionally protect as we grow, and feedback like this reinforces how important it is to maintain. You also make a great point about our pace of innovation - things do move quickly here, and not every process is fully built out yet. We see that as part of the opportunity to shape what’s next, and it’s great to hear you’re leaning into that. It’s the perfect place for people who love to build, shape, and make an impact as we grow. If that sounds like you, come be part of this next chapter with us! Thank you again for being part of Forward’s journey and for helping us continue to raise the bar while keeping our culture strong.

Pros

Top-Tier Compensation & Resources: The company pays very well and genuinely invests in its employees by providing excellent resources to help us succeed. Incredible Culture & Team: My coworkers and team members are amazing, hardworking, and deeply dedicated. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and we do truly meaningful work together every day. Fantastic Remote Environment: The remote work setup is seamless and highly effective, making it a wonderful place to work from anywhere. Rewarding Leadership: As a manager, it is incredibly fulfilling to support my team, solve problems for our customers, and cross the finish line on major tasks. I feel genuinely lucky to be a part of this organization.

Cons

Learning Curve & Operational Complexity: The environment is very fast-paced, and the product itself is highly complex. It takes a significant amount of time to learn the ins and outs, which naturally makes managing the operations space a bit challenging. Heavy Manual Workload: There are a lot of manual reviews required, which can lead to an increased workload for managers. Growing Pains: Right now, there is a lot of reliance on "tribal knowledge" and navigating gray areas. As the company continues to expand, leadership will need to prioritize building more standardized, scalable processes to ease the operational burden.
