      Application

      I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      The company reached out to me based on my strong experience for the role, I had not heard of them before they contacted me. I spoke to one of the leadership team who was rather arrogant about their own experience -they spent a lot of time talking about themselves, and I got a strong sense of elitism in how they would consider candidates to come into the company. Overall this person gave me a lot of information but I could tell that they had no headcount plan and were ill organized internally with their current processes (other commentary in glassdoor reflects similar things) Their product roadmap is light and they seem to be hitting a moving target in terms of their growth and planning and overall strategy. They don't pay their employees for referring candidates into the company - bizarre if you ask me especially since this person said they heavily go after passive candidates to get the best talent rejecting almost all the ones that apply. Their approach to hiring engineers in particular is they have 3 channels and they reject 95% of the folks that come through using hackerrank. They ruse people with the Head of Engineering's emails through linkedin and other direct mail to get people excited. For all non-tech hires they put folks through case studies vs. solid interviews assessing peoples skills. Their big perk is that they give you their healthcare program for free-wow. After the call, I decided that their overall messy company style and lack of overall leadership from what I could glean from the person I spoke to, left me completely disinterested in this place. I pulled myself out of consideration through a follow up email. My suggestion to them especially based on so many bits of feedback, is get humble, your egotism in your practices is a total turnoff to really qualified people.
