Vantaggi

Many pleasant coworkers. No excessive work hours. Customer community and customer attitude. Nice workspace/office.

Svantaggi

After working for several employers over many years this is by orders of magnitude the most hostile workplace I have ever been a part of. Over several years I have watched the nicest people get disenfranchised and tore apart, while the most mean spirited, selfish and plastic people succeed. I strongly agree with other reviews which mention nepotism, it is quite frankly astonishing, nobody dare say anything, we all to a man feel that if we are trapped into saying anything, that any outspoken individual will pay with their careers (its not just a job its a reference). This has created development leadership, that nobody wants to get behind. It is the talk of the office and the clients. The fake cultural cool aid ensures there are smiles on faces (or there would be severe repercussions). However under the cheap cultural veneer people are not restrained by executive management in shameless career motivated character assassination and competitiveness. It seems that everyone except the executive management are measured by the perception of others.

Vantaggi

Most of the people at Forte are absolutely amazing. They are smart, caring, and fun. Forte has many of the perks you'd expect in a software company including a game room, free snacks, and flexible hours. The volunteer time off policy and the health reimbursements are also fantastic fringe benefits. It's nice that it's located in Middleton and away from the usual traffic of downtown or Epic.

Svantaggi

My struggle with Forte is likely somewhat unique to my situation. I just couldn't find my "niche", and after months of poking around to see how to best fit in, I decided my best bet was to look elsewhere. The PTO and bereavement policies seem a bit antiquated, but I have my fingers crossed that enough people have voiced this concern that Forte will alter their policies in the next year or two. I'm not going to focus much on the cons of Forte because overall it was and is a fantastic company, and it remains the best software company that I know of in the Madison area. That being said, there are some elements of truth in other reviewers' negative comments about Forte--particularly in regard to product direction and career progression.
