Interview
I first met with the team in person, followed by multiple calls and video conferences with team leaders. Forward has an expert team, with a defined mission and solid business model. I am determined to find a way to support their efforts as a future employee or at minimum as a member. The interviewing was an extremely positive experience, and I enjoyed talking with everyone that I had the pleasure to meet.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Over the last year, what was the most exciting problem you had to solve?
Rigorous interview. There were a couple of intro calls with one being a more case study type interview asking about more financial questions as well as "what you'd do" situational questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Very weird and cult like. Fully focused on why you love the company and a mix of automation questions. They clearly want the answer to be that everything is automated
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interviews themselves are quite standard, but the process is lengthy. Expect a screening call, ~4 1:1 team interviews, then a full day onsite, which includes several case studies and back to back 30 minute to 1 hour interviews. This day did not include a lunch break, which was off putting, and several of the interviews actually took place outside, walking around the city. In fact, there was no break at all during the 6 hour onsite. I found the people at Forward intelligent, insightful, and passionate. The experience of meeting them all was wonderful. That said, their offer was shockingly low. Purposefully not providing realistic salary ranges during the interview process is disrespectful of a candidate's time.
