Pros

The company has been going through a super exciting time, experiencing a bunch of growth while still maintaining an awesome culture and the people making Forward a truly special place. The 2x a year get togethers in Boston are something everyone looks forward to. The fact the company is fully dedicated to being remote has led us to bring on high caliber talent. FF rewards it's people, we rolled out a new set of incentives in 2025, including a Presidents Club trip. We set countless records in 2025 and excited to see what 2026 brings!

Thank you for such a positive and energetic review! It's awesome that you feel our culture is keeping pace with our growth and that the remote flexibility is helping us bring in such great talent. We are also thrilled to hear that new incentives, like the President’s Club, are resonating with the team - continuing to celebrate and reward our team members is such an important part of our culture. We're so glad you're excited about breaking those records in 2025 because this was a huge collective achievement - and we also can’t wait to see what we accomplish together in 2026! It is also wonderful to know that you couldn't think of any downsides right now. If that changes and you think of any opportunities for improvement, we are always eager to hear it. Thanks for being part of the Forward journey!

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.
