Pros
* Forward is a moonshot. The products being built are almost always the first of their kind and that's incredibly rewarding and exciting * The people are A+ and all incredibly mission-driven, capable, and kind. The intertwining of the DNA of engineers & doctors outputs a really great culture of people who want use technology to solve actual problems * Little to no bureaucracy or BS around titles, levels, etc. - very flat and meritocratic * Regularly feel genuinely inspired by the mission, scope, and coworkers here. Hard to imagine going to work at some B2B SaaS startup after trying to tackle a problem as big as this
Cons
* Trying to rebuild healthcare from first principles is not a joke. Lots of work relative to headcount. Lots of focus on rigorous thinking and process, which isn't for everyone * In-person work is great and can't imagine going back to sitting on zoom all day, but that's a personal choice people have to make
