Interview
The interviews themselves are quite standard, but the process is lengthy. Expect a screening call, ~4 1:1 team interviews, then a full day onsite, which includes several case studies and back to back 30 minute to 1 hour interviews. This day did not include a lunch break, which was off putting, and several of the interviews actually took place outside, walking around the city. In fact, there was no break at all during the 6 hour onsite. I found the people at Forward intelligent, insightful, and passionate. The experience of meeting them all was wonderful. That said, their offer was shockingly low. Purposefully not providing realistic salary ranges during the interview process is disrespectful of a candidate's time.

Rigorous interview. There were a couple of intro calls with one being a more case study type interview asking about more financial questions as well as "what you'd do" situational questions.

Interview
Very weird and cult like. Fully focused on why you love the company and a mix of automation questions. They clearly want the answer to be that everything is automated
