Pros
* Hard not to be deeply motivated by the mission. Everything we do works back from that mission without fail * And everyone we hire shares that passion which makes it a great place to come to every day * First-principles thinking which means the company is not afraid to take big risks if we believe it's the best thing for the consumers and for us to achieve our mission * Get to work on some of the toughest problems with top-tier people - it really stretches you each and every day. Tremendous growth opportunities for those that want it
Cons
* Unsurprisingly, doing something that matters is hard work. Forward is not for the 'shadow quitters' or those who view work very transactionally. It is somewhat all consuming because it's so exciting and challenging at the same time * Comp is not the best but you go into it with eyes wide open. It's a tradeoff you will have to make if you want to work on a big problem like this and have a chance to change healthcare. It is improving though so only a matter of time when it's no longer as big of a factor * Definitely a challenging place with a very high bar for performance. If you don't thrive off that then it can be quite tough
