- "It often seems like lower management either does not care about the employees and/or is too busy to do anything about them." (in 24 reviews)
- "Given the previously mentioned nod to this company taking after a Silicon Valley 'model', the company culture also attracts individuals who do good work, but are not suitable leaders." (in 9 reviews)
- "Upper management is constantly bombarding everyone with more work by cutting employees, when the upper management planned to make the jobs less 'stressful'." (in 7 reviews)
- "Already three rounds of layoffs in less than a year, as the budget set for 'promised growth' did not match reality." (in 5 reviews)

Donates thousands of dollars, but can't give their employees raises

Great work/life balance. Remote is a massive plus.
Cons
I find at very infuriating that our company will not consider a salary raise to keep up with the costs of inflation, but they can donate $50,000 to support Ukraine. I am all for donating if the company has the finances to do so, but maybe they should take care of their own workforce before helping others at that level.

Cons
Lots of ongoing changes in the company
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Supportive team, talented people, decent benefits, decent work/life balance, products with lots of potential to dominate the market.
Cons
The organizational structure was constantly changing over my last 2 years there. This caused a lot of confusion/disruption in the culture because people were moved to different teams, had title changes, new leadership, etc. As a result, a lot of valuable and talented people are undervalued and pushed to the side. I felt I was paid well before COVID/mergers, but then went a whole year without a raise and another with an insultingly low raise that did not even keep up with 2 years' inflation. Leadership needs to figure out where the company is going with the tech/product lines. Few seem to understand which product lines would be developed further and how they would be marketed. I was not in sales, but this was clearly difficult for sales teams to manage considering clients ended up signing on without fully understanding what they had bought and how to leverage.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Very exciting times at Forsta- the new company has come together and has a bright future. Leadership team is strong, smart employees and good tech.
Cons
Integration pains- lots of change over the past 18 months and more to come.
