Pros

- outstanding culture of collaboration, debate, learning and accomplishment - high expectations coupled with plenty of room to own projects end to end and make a real impact - mission driven (truly, more than anywhere else I've ever worked) - on a path to fundamentally change healthcare and impact literally billions of people - full time in person (in a world of online interactions, this is just plain good for us as human beings!) - dynamic team structures that create opportunities for a broad experience across teams

Cons

- the weekly evening staff meeting is super engaging and has a real positive culture impact, but sometimes the timing is difficult to fit into my personal life

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
