Avoid This Sinking Ship - Anonymous employee Forward Thinking Systems Employee Review

If you're looking for a challenging and rewarding career that's going to either build a solid career foundation for the new or sharpen the skills of the experienced, then Forward Thinking is the place for you.

This isn't a con but Forward Thinking is not for those who are looking to coast on by.

Great co-workers. Incredibly smart and motivated people working here, always willing to help others. Completely remote work environment. Interesting technology and industry.

The company completely lacks leadership or a cohesive vision for the future. The CEO is so far in the weeds he's an obstruction to any progress on projects. He seems to have some idea of what he wants, but is completely incapable of expressing that vision or providing adequate direction to the rest of the company. This is compounded by an inability to let the people he hires own and run their departments. The recent firings of two senior managers has left the company in chaos, stalled progress on most projects, and dropped moral to an all-time low. Company culture doesn't exist, and is actively repressed, values end at profit, and DEI is entirely ignored.
