Three Months In: Awesome People, Serious Drive, and Real Balance

Pros

I started 90 days ago, and I can confirm: everything about this company's culture is legit. Everyone here is a genuine person, and the company itself feels incredibly authentic. What I love the most is there's no corporate fluff, just a lot of support and transparency that made my onboarding process super easy. The team is seriously driven. We’re always trying to raise the bar and push the limits on what we do, and it’s motivating to work around people who are focused on real impact. You'll definitely be challenged here, but in the best way. Even with all that high-level work, the work-life balance is truly good. Management actually tells you to log off and take time for yourself, which is incredible in such a driven company. That respect for personal time is huge.

Cons

Because we’re moving so fast and innovating in new areas, not every process is perfectly baked yet. If you prefer a workplace where everything is clearly documented and defined, you might find this challenging. However, for those who want a real opportunity to make a difference by defining new processes and helping to build the future of the company, this is an incredible place to be.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience - and congratulations on your first 90 days! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’ve felt the authenticity, transparency, and drive that define our culture. It means a lot to know that those values are showing up in your onboarding and daily work. We’re proud to be a place where people can do meaningful, challenging work and still have the space to unplug and recharge. That balance is something we intentionally protect as we grow, and feedback like this reinforces how important it is to maintain. You also make a great point about our pace of innovation - things do move quickly here, and not every process is fully built out yet. We see that as part of the opportunity to shape what’s next, and it’s great to hear you’re leaning into that. It’s the perfect place for people who love to build, shape, and make an impact as we grow. If that sounds like you, come be part of this next chapter with us! Thank you again for being part of Forward’s journey and for helping us continue to raise the bar while keeping our culture strong.

Pros

I absolutely love working at Forward Financing. The culture here is incredibly collaborative and kind, making it a great place to be. The pay and benefits are very competitive, and the flexible work options are a huge bonus. The company is constantly innovating, and I’ve been really impressed with how they're embracing new technology and AI. You won't be bored here, the work is genuinely challenging and pushes you to grow. One standout perk is the stipend for new parents, which helps with the financial costs of daycare, diapers, and formula. This is just one of many things the company does to show they're truly invested in their employees. Also, Forward Palooza is the most well-organized company event I’ve ever attended. It’s an amazing opportunity to meet everyone in person and get a clear, transparent view of the company’s direction. The content from the event clarifies what company trends mean for you personally, including your bonus and priorities. It’s a level of transparency that's incredibly refreshing.

Cons

Honestly, there aren't many downsides. Because the company is growing so fast, things can get fast-paced, but it’s always manageable. You might experience some growing pains with new processes and systems being put in place, but that’s pretty normal when a company is evolving like this, and the good news is you have amazing folks beside you providing support.

We also appreciate your perspective on the fast pace and evolution that come with growth.
