Uniquely mission-driven, people-oriented culture in the IT Industry - Senior Strategic Partner bei Path Forward: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Leadership isn’t removed from the day-to-day realities of the business. They stay close to the work and understand what’s actually happening. They genuinely “get it,” which helps ensure the company is moving in the right direction. It’s honestly a breath of fresh air. CEO has a clear, spot-on vision for the business, which does make it exciting to be part of that growth. He’s approachable, very even-keeled and decisive. Not a micromanage-y environment either. You’re trusted to do your job and take ownership of your work. I always felt my input and feedback was heard, respected and appreciated, too. From my experience, there’s a strong sense of teamwork and collaboration. People are friendly, honest, smart, professional, and really willing to help you out. There’s also a genuine care for clients and the work they do. Since we support healthcare/life sciences orgs (and, ultimately, patient safety) people take that responsibility very seriously. Definite feel-good work with a greater purpose.

Going through a period of growth, so some normal growing pains as processes and systems catch up with the pace of scaling, though that’s typical and expected.

There are three things I can say about my experience working at Path Forward: First, I came into Path Forward with a lot of experience but also a lot of room to grow and learn. It was the exact right home for me at the exact right time. I was able to broaden significantly both technical and non-technical skillsets and advance quickly. Secondly, there are a lot of people in this organization that truly care about the clients and how what we does affects patients. Being "mission-driven" helps us all line up behind a common goal. Lastly, there is a lot of tolerance for making mistakes and learning from them. As long as you are working hard to get better, the team, from executives to engineers, will be very supportive. While no company is perfect, and that certainly includes Path Forward, I am so grateful to be working here.

Path Forward is growing rapidly. While that offers a lot of advancement and growth opportunities, it means you have to move fast and sometimes it means a focus on taking care of the clients over work-life balance. Path Forward pushes a focus on taking PTO, not over promising, etc., but there is still a little room to grow there. Some recent changes are making this way better.
