Pluspunten

The people not in leadership are some really great folks that care.

Minpunten

The CEO repeats every year to give him 5 more years to execute. Still hasn't happened. The People Team only protects Sr Leaders, The Board for whatever reason has not fired the CEO despite multiple layoffs and financial losses over last few years. Not to mention the closing of centers because of no money but say it's to raise the level of "collaboration". There is no real plan to bounce back so instead, they announce this reverse stock split, after announcing a stock buyback, after announcing quite poor performance quarter over quarter. This company will severely under pay you. The leadership leads with fear and literally pushed out all of the true leaders, who supported the staff and their growth. This place is a legit sinking ship and several companies WILL NOT consider resumes from this company, that should tell you something about the true reputation of this joke called Forge. If previous performance doesn't guarantee future performance then why did the CEO create an additional unnecessary leadership level and bring in all of his friends? Does this explain the lack of progress? How many rounds of layoffs until someone says maybe it's the poor decision making by the C-Suite? Think twice then think twice again before agreeing to work here.
