      Pros

      Employees are smart, but not the smartest colleagues I've had. Projects are extremely interesting, I love traveling within the country and internationally

      Cons

      Company doesn't really care about associates. Seems like they are not set up to make young people successful, just set up to have the Principals get more experience and do great projects. They don't have any leadership opportunities. I also don't like the fact that they don't have any diversity--management is a bunch of middle-aged white guys

      Pros

      As a small company, Point Forward is poised to provide opportunities for associates to jump right in, gaining valuable hands-on experience with ethnography, analysis, synthesis, and client presentations, but career advancement within the company is limited. Work-life balance is fairly good. Compensation is modest by Bay Area standards.

      Cons

      The four founders freely express a preference for doing interesting work over worrying about management, which is why they keep the firm small. As such, associates need to advocate for themselves, and should not expect formal support, such as regular performance reviews or standardized HR processes. Paths for career advancement within the company are not well-specified. Historically, the company has not retained female talent.
