Pros

the people you work with day to day are wonderful

Cons

I cannot imagine a more toxic work environment. I would recommend working here if: - you want Slack to be the first thing you check when you wake up and the last thing you check before going to bed because god forbid you miss an 8:30 pm thread - you want to be gaslit into thinking you're selfish for wanting a raise, even though leadership has acknowledged that you're making below market rate - you want extra work thrown on your plate monthly but would never think about wanting a promotion because who even cares about a title? - you want to be put under a manager who is incapable of giving tactical advice and when you bring up concerns to a lead they tell you to "rely less on your manager" - you want a strict 5 day a week in person office policy - you hate having personal time Thursday evenings and would rather sit at a staff meeting from 6-7 pm Bonus: its a health tech company and they don't even cover all of your health insurance... red flag

Pros

Work with mission-oriented, user-focused, empathetic, and kind people towards a common goal of rebuilding healthcare from the ground up. We solve problems from first-principles which enables us to innovate across the stack from product to engineering to operations. We all operate with high ownership and autonomy here and it's something that is unique to Forward

Cons

We work on difficult and ambiguous problems all the time. It may feel hard in the moment but it's the most rewarding and meaningful work that you've done in your career

Pros

Forward is a company truly aligned on the mission of working to change the way healthcare is delivered; one of the most gratifying parts of working here is knowing that my efforts go towards finding solutions for the frustrations in healthcare delivery. I have the pleasure of working with some amazing and smart people who care about the same goals.

Cons

Working at a startup can be challenging - it’s dynamic and you have to think on your feet. What you think initially is the right solution may not actually be correct and you have to be willing to revisit your assumptions and look at the data again.
