Pros
- "no-nonsense" approach to building an amazing product - work on large / hard problems that matter (not optimizing click-through rates for ads or likes)... get to hear how your features impact human lives not revenue numbers - cross-discipline work can cut both ways at Forward but for the most part comes out positive.. seeing multiple disciplines working together at the top of their game is inspiring - stellar team that does a lot with lean resources - leads walk a great balance between moving fast and caution
Cons
- high pace forces employees to set personal life boundaries instead of it being a standard across the board.. not for everyone - scaling brick and mortar is a long, hard road - doing it while also building an amazing product leads to a lot of late nights - hiring - scaling quickly so the need to hire quickly without making hiring mistakes is a hard line to walk
