Pros

- Company is over staffed at the lower levels, good work life balance - Incredible amount of focus and energy goes into People related functions, groups, and events - You can make a couple quick moves up the ladder early on in your career and work with great people in the process - Really is a fun place to work at times

Kontras

- The business is unfortunately left exposed to numerous different economic pressures which causes extended periods of high stress and intense micro-management - Middle management largely consists of long tenured employees who are much better suited as individual contributors - Employees deserve a more direct conversation on their career paths, paired with stronger management and coaching

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and are happy to hear that work-life-balance and our culture are pros for you. That said, we also value your transparency as a current employee. It's true that we are subject to the volatility of the economy - however we aim to be transparent and up front with our employees about company performance so that everyone is empowered to make decisions that support our business. We rely on our mission and team to be our north star and prioritize both when making strategic decisions. We also acknowledge that with our growth has come challenges. At times, when an organization is faced with serious challenges, it can be necessary for the most experienced leaders to dig in and support the teams, with the goal of coming out stronger on the other side. This is typical for organizations and is not unique to Forward. Unfortunately, situations like this can unintentionally feel as though the leader is micro-managing rather than supporting the team in navigating the challenges. We recognize that and are working on how to do that in a way that feels complementary to the skills and expertise of the team leads. Most importantly, we want our team to know that our people are what makes our organization so special and taking care of them is a top priority for us. We do strive to live out our core values -- Keep it Real, Act with Kindness, Shoot for Extraordinary, and Drive the Mission -- every day. We value your perspective -- if you're comfortable sharing additional feedback, please reach out to someone on the People and Culture team. We are committed to transparency and are always open to feedback on how we can improve. Thank you for being a member of the Forward team.

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.

Kontras

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It is wonderful to hear you feel so supported through our compensation and the resources we provide. Crossing the finish line on major tasks and solving tough customer problems is only possible when we truly work together as a team, so I am glad you get to experience that camaraderie every day. We also love that the remote environment is working so well for you. That’s exactly why we bring the whole company together twice a year for our Forward Palooza events, in addition to individual team offsites throughout the year, keeping those team bonds strong while enjoying the flexibility of working from anywhere. We really appreciate your candid notes on our operational growing pains. Learning a complex product is tough, and relying on informal knowledge or heavy manual reviews adds a lot to your plate. Documenting those gray areas and building scalable processes is a major priority for us as we continue to grow, and your feedback helps highlight exactly where we need to focus our efforts. Thank you for believing in our vision and for being such a wonderful part of the Forward team.
