Pros

- The people! Everyone I interact with here at Forward is incredibly welcoming, supportive, open to answering questions, and genuine. - Lots of opportunity for career growth. It's the norm for people here to be promoted within 1-2 years. - 100% remote work with the option of working in a beautiful office in downtown Boston when we want to!

Cons

Since we work remotely, the office can be pretty slow/ quiet sometimes but there's always at least a few people in!

Thank you for sharing! We are thrilled to hear that you love the Forward team and are leveraging our Employee Choice policy. As a business, we are focused on our team members' impact and contributions rather than where they get their work done. At times, an output of this policy is fewer people coming into the office. That said, a huge focus for us in 2023, is ensuring our team members feel connected no matter where they live or work. Stay tuned for more in-person and virtual events to help keep our team feeling connected. Thanks for being a part of the team!

Pros

Top-Tier Compensation & Resources: The company pays very well and genuinely invests in its employees by providing excellent resources to help us succeed. Incredible Culture & Team: My coworkers and team members are amazing, hardworking, and deeply dedicated. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and we do truly meaningful work together every day. Fantastic Remote Environment: The remote work setup is seamless and highly effective, making it a wonderful place to work from anywhere. Rewarding Leadership: As a manager, it is incredibly fulfilling to support my team, solve problems for our customers, and cross the finish line on major tasks. I feel genuinely lucky to be a part of this organization.

Cons

Learning Curve & Operational Complexity: The environment is very fast-paced, and the product itself is highly complex. It takes a significant amount of time to learn the ins and outs, which naturally makes managing the operations space a bit challenging. Heavy Manual Workload: There are a lot of manual reviews required, which can lead to an increased workload for managers. Growing Pains: Right now, there is a lot of reliance on "tribal knowledge" and navigating gray areas. As the company continues to expand, leadership will need to prioritize building more standardized, scalable processes to ease the operational burden.
