Great people, collaborative culture

Pros

I work in Forum EMEA (the London office) and have never worked with such a great group of people. Everyone is supportive and collaborative. They work hard but maintain a healthy work life balance, which is driven by the regional MD. Many of us work remotely at least once a week. Forum is a global organisation headquartered in the US, this office has worked hard at instilling a strong local culture while continually collaborating with the rest of the business. Many of us have calls with our counterparts overseas daily. Opportunities arise to work within other parts of the business and other geographies.

Cons

Forum has been traditionally slow to make decisions or move forward on some issues. This is being addressed but we're still not there yet.

Run Far Run Fast

Pros

Most of the employees really care about what they do.

Cons

Company is all talk and no substance. Lots of promises for great things but no resources and no recognition. Zero expertise left in the business - Current CEO does lots of talk and posturing but does not deliver anything. Leadership is not trustworthy.

Not much stability

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, a lot of very kind, welcoming employees. Good amount of parties and social gatherings, overall the atmosphere is positive and upbeat.

Cons

While there are many people at AchieveForum who are absolutely great to work with, there are some higher ups who ironically have no idea how to manage employees and if you bring up any kind of issues to them they just throw out robotic corporate jargon without actually acknowledging a possible solution. For a company that specializes in leadership training, their leaders need A LOT of work. Not to mention they are constantly laying people off and doing whatever they can to stay afloat. This is NOT a sustainable company and it's crawling with soulless corporate robots. If you want to be managed by normal humans who actually care about you I'd suggest going elsewhere.
