Hi there- it sounds like you've had a tough experience here. I know we just wrapped up our latest Culture Pulse survey and looked at the results together as team. If you'd like to talk about any of that personally and share your experience I'd love to hear from you. -Dana

Vantaggi

Supportive and collaborative team, strong product mindset, clear goals, and respect for design. High ownership, trust, and autonomy. Leadership is open to feedback, and designers are involved in real product decisions, not just visuals.

Svantaggi

Fast-paced environment with a lot of responsibility, which may not be ideal for someone looking for a slower or more structured workflow. Priorities can shift as the company grows, but this is typical for scaling teams.

Vantaggi

1. Smart and friendly coworkers 2. Good engineering culture 3. Opportunities for growth

Svantaggi

1. Not-profitable - Forward never found a working model to solve the problem, and anchored heavily on solutions that lacked market-fit evidence. Contradictory to the problem-focused culture at Forward. 2. The finance problems lead to urgency. Work was demanding and tough across the org. However, engineering velocity was not the problem to begin with, leading to a vicious cycle of unmet goals -> tighter deadlines. 3. Frequent and fundamental shifts in company priorities leading to disorganized sprints and planning. A lot of work were throw away despite long hours invested.
