      Interesting work at a fast-paced startup

      Software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Highly diverse engineering team. Worked on different, high-stakes issues every day. Supportive team, no "brilliant but difficult people".

      Cons

      Expectations to "sleep on the shop floor" mentality absolutely kills morale.

      Making the World a Better Place (actually)

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Hard to believe that and other startup is both as mission driven to make the world a better place, and actually capable of going out and executing. Mission alignment across staff is crazy and infectious. It’s really hard to leave once you get hooked. Despite big mission and lofty valuation, Forward is still very much a startup, and that means everyone who joins is handed real responsibility and ownership. You won’t just be a cog, you’ll own a part of the engine, so you’ll learn how to be scrappy and move fast in a way not possible at a large company.

      Cons

      Forward is still a startup, so there can sometimes be very little support for formal training. Everyone is figuring this out as they go, so you’re kinda throw in and expected to do so to (which some people struggle a lot with) The downside of being handed responsibility is that it can be stressful when things go wrong. Pay is on the lower side, but you get to work on cool high impact problems, so it’s a trade off.
