      An amazing, once-in-a-lifetime job

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Forward is a once-in-a-lifetime job. It's incredibly rare to find a company with: * Amazing mission (the world's best healthcare for billions of people, for free) * Amazing vision (rebuild healthcare as a product, not a labor service) * Amazing teammates Forward has them all. And we are at a defining moment in our vision. At a defining time in tech history, given the progress in artificial intelligence. This is the sort of job that defines a career, and gives those of us who are here a sense of meaning.

      Cons

      Forward is not for everyone. In particular, the cons are: * We work extremely hard * We are in the office 5 days a week * We don't have a lot of "frills" We prioritize our mission, and are pretty willing to trade things off in service of that mission. So it's not for everyone, at every time of their career. But if you want to apply your talent to an amazing mission, this is the place.

      Very Toxic

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Hardly any. Dont, recommend it.

      Cons

      They expect you to sacrifice everything in your life and just work. Very intense, unrealistic expectations and no support when you get blocked. And the pay is also less. No empathy. It was a traumatic experience. Real cheapskates. No lunch or even snacks.

      Pros

      - learn a lot - good for early career - nice people

      Cons

      - toxic work culture - group think, don't voice anything that differs from the loudest opinions of exec's - constant state of fear of job security - hard to establish feedback loops for career / skills growth - lack of trust of employees, lack of trust from employees to management - micromanagement, employees need to be in 5 days a week even if job function does not require this. Even if job function would be EASIER from a wfh space - constant change at a startup is expected, but this felt like rollercoaster on any day at any given time - this place is all consuming, expect to always be available - another review said it but I will echo this was a traumatic experience Friends and family are relieved I no longer work here. I wish I had read glass door reviews before joining.
