Pros

Wish there was a silver lining, maybe escaping for a coffee at Starbucks once in a while

Cons

I genuinely felt at times like I was on a prank show or being tricked into a social experiment, as this entire operation was a complete joke. I still can't believe how awful of a gig this role was. All the past reviews that warn about how terrible this role is, hit the nail on the head. They make it seem like you're working for this revolutionary start-up, but in reality, you're harassing mall guests to come into your store as they pass by, legit begging them for a tour. What ?!?!? I had the gelato lady across the hall asking me why in the world this company would make us do that!?!?! If that is the business model you "professionals" have deemed the way to change healthcare... then please do some big-time reflecting on this entire operation. Management could care less about you, clinical staff does not want you there, leadership views you as a pawn, this entire thing was a failure, and felt that way with every single MSA lol. Do better ? * zero work-life balance 10-8 lol * have to work weekends * zero inbounds * pressured to make impossible sales *a joke

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.
