Pros

I know every review mentions this, but the people at Forward are actually unbeatable. They not only are the most intelligent, driven, and passionate people I have ever worked with, but they also care so immensely about leaving the world a better place than they found it. This is an extremely rare combination in the start-up world and has made my last year at Forward a joy. There is also something very powerful to be said about working for a company that truly lives and breathes its mission - it's not some sticker we put above the door to put on the facade that we care about getting healthcare to the entire world, it is something this company works into its core and is visible no matter the team or project.

Cons

Typical to the start-up world, the hours aren't usually the typical 9-5, but the caveat to that is the projects you own and the work you do keep you interested and feeling like the work you're doing is meaningful, so it often doesn't feel beyond normal hours. Also typical to the start-up world, there are growing pains - a lot of tasks to take on and not hiring folks fast enough to handle them. I have been fortunate in these circumstances to own projects/tasks that at any other company, I would have never been trusted as a relatively junior employee.
