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

Working at Forward has changed my perspective on what matters most in a career. This is a place for folks from any level to come in and do their best work while saving lives and transforming the medical industry into a patient-centric operation. The stories from all of the members' whose health has been dramatically improved is heartwarming. I came to Forward for the mission, but I stay for the people. Forward is filled with genuinely caring, super sharp, highly driven people. Multiple MA's (medical assistants) have progress to work full-time in corp (if that's what they wanted). You'll learn SO much here and contribute so much back to the world -- you honestly can't ask for much better in a career.

Cons

This is both a pro and (for some) a con - the bar for excellence here is quite high. If you want to grow your career quickly, work with amazing people who inspire you to up-level your own caliber of work every day, then Forward is great for you. If you're just looking for a "job" and not a mission-oriented career...there are plenty of other places you can look.

Pros

There are three primary reasons why I think Forward is an incredible place to work: - Forward is the only company I have seen that is built as a mission with a business attached. Forward consistently makes decisions that prioritizes its mission and gives us a chance to change a lot of people's lives around the US and maybe one day around the world. To the core, mission is far more important that financials. - Forward is built on a culture of ownership. Everyone owns very impactful and challenging problems. AND we own problems end to end - from developing strategy to driving execution to owning outcomes. - Forward offers real growth opportunities. I've worked on some of the most challenging problems surrounded by some of the smartest, most capable individuals. I've learned just as much from personally exploring problems from first principles as I have from listening to the experience and thought patterns of my colleagues.

Cons

Building a vertically integrated start with aspirations of changing the world is really hard. It takes a certain kind of person to be successful here. To be successful, you need to: - be willing to sacrifice short term gains for long term impact - be a self starter who learns best through their own initiative - have the endurance to ride the ups and downs of startup life - be okay with the messiness of pursuing new ideas - be willing to work 5 days a week in the office
