What People Are Saying About Forge

  • Mission & Purpose: Work sits at the intersection of fintech, capital markets, and high‑growth startups, and the problem space is considered more meaningful and distinctive than typical broker/dealers. Exposure to private‑company trading and data is viewed as compelling for those seeking impact in private markets.
  • Benefits & Perks: Public materials outline comprehensive benefits—medical, dental, vision, 401(k), FSAs/HSAs, parental leave, generous PTO—and equity for eligible employees, which feedback suggests is a solid though not splashy package. Additional programs like employee resource groups, volunteering, and recognition are highlighted as part of the experience.
  • Compensation: Sample postings and ranges are described as competitive for a fintech scaleup, with equity participation a standard part of many offers. This points to market‑aligned pay when hiring resumes selectively.
