Pros

Working at Forward has changed my perspective on what matters most in a career. This is a place for folks from any level to come in and do their best work while saving lives and transforming the medical industry into a patient-centric operation. The stories from all of the members' whose health has been dramatically improved is heartwarming. I came to Forward for the mission, but I stay for the people. Forward is filled with genuinely caring, super sharp, highly driven people. Multiple MA's (medical assistants) have progress to work full-time in corp (if that's what they wanted). You'll learn SO much here and contribute so much back to the world -- you honestly can't ask for much better in a career.

Cons

This is both a pro and (for some) a con - the bar for excellence here is quite high. If you want to grow your career quickly, work with amazing people who inspire you to up-level your own caliber of work every day, then Forward is great for you. If you're just looking for a "job" and not a mission-oriented career...there are plenty of other places you can look.

Pros

Supportive and collaborative team, strong product mindset, clear goals, and respect for design. High ownership, trust, and autonomy. Leadership is open to feedback, and designers are involved in real product decisions, not just visuals.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with a lot of responsibility, which may not be ideal for someone looking for a slower or more structured workflow. Priorities can shift as the company grows, but this is typical for scaling teams.

Pros

1. Smart and friendly coworkers 2. Good engineering culture 3. Opportunities for growth

Cons

1. Not-profitable - Forward never found a working model to solve the problem, and anchored heavily on solutions that lacked market-fit evidence. Contradictory to the problem-focused culture at Forward. 2. The finance problems lead to urgency. Work was demanding and tough across the org. However, engineering velocity was not the problem to begin with, leading to a vicious cycle of unmet goals -> tighter deadlines. 3. Frequent and fundamental shifts in company priorities leading to disorganized sprints and planning. A lot of work were throw away despite long hours invested.
