Vantaggi

The team is very smart and driven. You get to interact with some of the top execs from silicon valley. It's a great resume builder.

Svantaggi

Work life balance is non-existent. You are expected to work 7 days a week and the pay is just average. The emotional atmosphere is terrible - the CEO will insult people up to the point they are crying and make people feel they are never good enough. The CEO once shared about some very hard emotional stuff he has gone through but that doesn't mean he should do the same to others. Also Forward doesn't deliver anything that kaiser permanente doesn't deliver, but charges more for the same package (if you want insurance against cancer, accidents, and other serious stuff). It's a typical vaporware hoping to change the world once they get enough data.

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.
