Typical growing pains but nothing severe.

Pros

- Respectful atmosphere - Flexible PTO - Decent compensation - Onsite food and drinks - Nice facility with great office space

Cons

- 6 years of non-stop, unfettered chaos. There's never a sense of regular work around here, just urgent situations and complex and expensive workarounds. - Recognition at Forge based on visibility and popularity more than quality of work - Many employees are held unaccountable for poor job performance or even refusal to do certain tasks. - Alarmingly high turnover rate. So many good people have left because of the chaotic pace at Forge. - Company used to preach work-life balance early on, but it's the opposite now. Bottom line matters most to the company. - Communication silos and single-threadedness (a small portion of the company does the majority of the work. Vast troves of untapped new employees with little to do).
