Avantages

* CEO who cares about the mission & his employees; makes sure he's accessible to people at all levels & is incredibly smart & experienced * Some of the most brilliant & kind coworkers you could have. Working on tough projects together makes it feel more like a tight-knit family than colleagues * We're a small company tackling huge problems, which means you get a ton of responsibility and leverage to sink your teeth in and really make a difference

Inconvénients

* You have to be ready to put the pedal to the metal and truly believe in the company and mission; those who don't are much more prone to burnout & often struggle to keep up with the demands of the job

Avantages

Supportive and collaborative team, strong product mindset, clear goals, and respect for design. High ownership, trust, and autonomy. Leadership is open to feedback, and designers are involved in real product decisions, not just visuals.

Inconvénients

Fast-paced environment with a lot of responsibility, which may not be ideal for someone looking for a slower or more structured workflow. Priorities can shift as the company grows, but this is typical for scaling teams.

Avantages

1. Smart and friendly coworkers 2. Good engineering culture 3. Opportunities for growth

Inconvénients

1. Not-profitable - Forward never found a working model to solve the problem, and anchored heavily on solutions that lacked market-fit evidence. Contradictory to the problem-focused culture at Forward. 2. The finance problems lead to urgency. Work was demanding and tough across the org. However, engineering velocity was not the problem to begin with, leading to a vicious cycle of unmet goals -> tighter deadlines. 3. Frequent and fundamental shifts in company priorities leading to disorganized sprints and planning. A lot of work were throw away despite long hours invested.
